I've just twigged that Grange Hill used to be filmed at Elstree. I probably parked in the spot where DANNY KENDALL DIED! Apologies for the capitalisation, but it was one of those television moments that imprinted itself in my childhood memory. Along with my first recollection of Grange Hill: Imelda in the boiler room with some green stuff, which, thanks to the internet, I know now to be fibreglass. I was 5 years old at the time, and for some reason it really traumatised me.

On which note, I've got slightly distracted by these Grange Hill video clips. And some character descriptions courtesy of the ever reliable TV Cream.


Oh, Stephen Tompkinson on Wardour St.
