    Always looked forward to getting home from school to watch Grange Hill ….THANKYOU to all cast and crew for making this a special time all those years ago…. And also Justin for reuniting us with them again…. And that’s why we need to bring back (JUSTIN LEE COLLINS )🙏🏻🤘

    This might’ve been the last television appearance of Joann Kenny, who was one of the main singers on Just Say No. Still so tragic that she passed away so young and just under five years after this aired. RIP.

    One of the best kids shows as a kid in 1980s
    We all remember zammos hard hitting story, that was very dark for a kids show.
    The show is timeless, i remember getting it and showing it to my niece, and they still as kids relate to it today
    North west london is ruined today, but back then kids growing up in that part of london it was not scary for parents to let there kids play out on streets of london, where people in london shared a common culture, and understand of civil society.
    I think everyone remembers zammo because it was such a harsh storyline for a kids show. Amazing how much he still looks like his younger self, many people morph alot into adult life, but zammo, looks exactly like you remember him

    OK, I get that this was lighthearted, but I’d love to see this redone without the bogus “challenge” aspect. We find out next to nothing about these people. How did the Grange Hill experience shape their childhoods and their lives since? What was it like, for those who didn’t pursue acting, to go back to “civilian” life? The sublime awkwardness of the initial encounters with the presenter is about the most genuine aspect-painful at times. And what was up with adding all those others at the very end? Would love to heave heard from the actor who played Emelda, for instance, but we got nothing.

    Fun if you're a Grange Hill fan but a missed opportunity. This series was a rip-off of the American show Bands Reunited, with the "thrill of the chase" crap and getting them to sign the annual (rather than an album) and perform at the end. The trouble is it's 75% JL Collins running around streets and hotels which is tedious. It would have been far better and more interesting if they'd concentrated on the GH cast, had proper interviews with a bit more depth and also interviewed the cast members who appeared at the end like Imelda, Gripper and Banksy.

    This JLC is so annoying. He makes Katie Hopkins seems almost bearable.

    Just say its complicated but if yo really are wanting a substance through curiosity then dont go in willy nilly , just plan the experience after extensive research and cost /benefit analysis but that doesn't sound as catchy 😂

    Erkan was the most wooden actor in GH history. Luckily for him, his chubby presence gave him storylines which didn't require much dialogue.
    Makes me laugh that even now, in 2022, he's still trying to live off the fact that he was a fat kid that couldn't act in a popular TV kids show
    Oh...and I'm pretty certain there are people that wouldn't wanna see Erkan again either, following his pathetically, childish, cryptic jibe 🥱
