  • Grange Hill is a BritishTv Childrens drama series that ran from 1978-2008. Here is most of the memorable cast members up to 1990.
    This was a difficult one to do, so their is a few missing due to the fact of no adult picture and info available.
    Just wanted to say doing this brought back so many fond memories. I was lucky enough to have a happy childhood, poor with money but rich in spirit and kindness. Being the youngest of 5 brothers we got up to so many memorable adventures! We wasnt greedy kids and learnt that you didnt need the latest gadgets to have a good life. These were the days of a clip round the ear and a lesson learnt. From great memories with my school mates, playing football, scrumping and just generally being cheeky and boistrious, to your out of school mates and your little gangs and meeting girls. Finally to getting on the train and camping sneaking a few beers in for the adventures. Ive meet so many great brothers, mates along the way. life was good to you because you were good to life.

    Mark Mahoney: As an Actor in the Grange Hill , I wanted to say I enjoyed this, nice seeing some of my fellow Grange Hill cast, I was in this back in 1978 Series one (extra & Grange Hill football team Goal Keeper). & Series Two EP 14, 1979 on screen Credited part "Gregson's Gang), " Keith Macey", we had such a great time filming this series, and I know we all very much appreciated the support for the show from the fans, ( I even had kids coming up to me asking for autographs, back in the day). The cast came from different "Stage Schools" but we all got on so well, and I met up with Todd Carty on the set of Eastenders years later and he said it was funny how many of us that had been in Grange Hill ended up working together on that series too, My Favorite Director on GH was Colin Cant, a great guy and a Joy to work with, seeing so many of my (real school) friends and fellow actors brought back found memories, so thanks for that, and if any of the fans of the show see my comment I genuinely want to say on behalf of the entire cast & crew a MASSIVE "THANK YOU" to each and every one of you that watched & liked the show, It means a great deal to me, and so I know it will to them.

    Grange Hill was very relatable and realistic. I remember so many storylines because they were believable topics as to what could happen at any school - bullies, drugs, even crushes on teachers! The teachers themselves reminded me of the diverse personalities and teaching styles in my own school. I wouldn’t want to relive my own school years, but I would watch the Grange Hill series again for some great nostalgia.

    Mega TV series, Grange Hill was a huge part of my childhood growing up, and always remember rushing home from school each day to watch it.

      Definitely this was an awesome show back in the day, I myself watched this from 1983 up until 1991, all the characters and storyline's seamed more realistic to about 1989 or 1990, after that the show lost it's spark just wasn't as good.

    Tucker, Alan and Benny initially, they were the naughty boys we daren’t be. Later on Robbie Wright and Ziggy were a great duo, very funny characters. Such a trip down memory lane, sadly too many people have passed away, such is life when you’re in your 50’s. Imagine having been in Grange Hill, reading the comments here knowing you had such a profound impact on other people’s lives. Some of these names/faces I haven’t seen since my own school years. Sadly a guy from my school got hit and killed 3 weeks ago whilst walking to work, he never made it to 50, make the most of your time folks, we just get one chance...............
    Thanks for taking the time and considerable effort I’m sure this took.

    Growing up in the 1980s into the 1990s with Grange Hill; it was like we were at school with these characters and as we developed, they did too. As we moved school years, so did they. It was real escapism from our own school worlds but something we could relate to.

    Grange Hill was considered very close to the knuckle by parents when it began. I enjoyed watching for many years. I am not sure why parents were so fearful as, it accurately depicted secondary school and late 1970's and 1980's life for teenagers. I can understand how latterly the relevance to school age children's lives began to dissipate as with the incursion of internet, social media and smart phones... all this technology suppressed story lines. Thank you for this memory and thought provoking video and it is so sad to see how many cast members have left us for the great detention in the clouds... Rest in peace.
