    No way! We should campaign the minister for schools against such an action! That is outrageous!

    I think the problem is that they moved it from BBC1 onto one of the never watched CBBC channels, so it dropped from visibility.

    I used to watch that every day after school. Who remembers Ziggy, Roland, Zammo, Gripper...?

    It's is repeated on BBC1 so it's not all CBBC. Funnily enough the Sunday Express magazine had a whole pile of stuff on Grange Hill because 08 Feb is it's 30th Anniversary so it had stuff on Zammo, Roly, Tucker, Mrs McClusky and the rest. Dead at 30. Shame.

    But didn't the Bill also get supplied from GH? We could soon see a TV actor drought!
