Grange Hill : BBC TV Series 5 & 6 Boxed Set DVD – Brian CAPRON, Lee MACDONALD

A new year, new pupils and a new set of challenges for the staff and children at Grange Hill as lack of funding affects them all in one way or another. This boxed set features all 34 episodes from series 5 and 6, originally broadcast in 1982 and 1983. Grange Hill series 5 – It’s a new term at Grange Hill & new pupils including Zammo McGuire, Roland Browning, Annette Firman & Fay Lucas start at the school; Gripper Stebson quickly finds himself a new victim. Jonah Jones & Zammo create havoc with stink bombs, much to the amusement of the boys. The offer of sex education lessons causes a mixture of mirth, embarrassment and consternation to both pupils and parents alike. An accusation of impropriety rocks the school and Stebson’s bullying culminates in a tragic accident. These are just some of the issues dealt with by head teacher, Mrs McClusky, as the term unfolds at Grange Hill. Grange Hill Series 6 – A school trip to St Albans takes a potentially dangerous turn when Annette Firman & Julie Marchant foolishly accept a lift from strangers. Romance blossoms for Claire Scott & Stewpot as they get caught necking in a cupboard. Despite recent events, Gripper Stebson’s bullying escalates into racism that results in his suspension from the school. Mr McGuffey, often a quiet champion of satirical subversion, is suspended by Mrs McClusky leading the pupils to organise a rally for his return.
