I've not looked, but they're likely on YouTube. Most things seem to be, nowadays.
The 'Hill' was certainly ground-breaking. I remember when it started, I was still a couple of years off from secondary school. It wasn't the traditional nice gentle kids' fare, but dared to deal with gritty adolescent issues, like bullying and racism.
If I recall rightly, didn't the black character, Benny, have some sort of nickname like 'Golly'? Imagine the kerfuffle that would cause today!
To be fair, it was mainly Michael Doyle who called him that, and he wasn't meant to be likeable.
Would love to see them again..
Remember .... 'Just say No!'
There were some ace storylines
Zammo n the smack,Robbie n the firm
I loved the show
Their not they were but then they got removed due to copyright. It sucked as I was watching them from the start think I was on series 9 when it got removed.
You can buy them off sellers on certain sites..;)
Most are on Youtube I have put series 12 on Youtube someone has put most years on there but they tend to get removed if you don't split the episodes into two parts so watch quickly.
will see if i can remember it:p
Check your PM:)
You can buy off air copies on ioffer. But Ive no idea why they havet released the entire series by now.
Wont it cost them too much in royalties
Yes, he seemed a bit up himself. Big contrast with Lee MacDonald especially who seems such a cheerful friendly guy and loves to chat about the show.
Well... am in the middle of Series 5 at the mo, but it's suddenly been taken off YouTube!
Does anyone have any idea where series 5 onwards can be seen now? I'd buy a DVD but they only have 1-4 which I've seen now already. It's very frustrating. Last ep I saw, Annette Firman hid that American girl's expensive clarinet, to give you an idea where I am in the series.
I miss lines like "Who hasn't done their homework? four of you... Why not? Don't bother to answer, Stebson, you never do it... "
Which one refused?
Also found series 13 (i think it was), that had Gonch and them
Mid Term Report, yeah, that's a great book. :cool:
Still no luck in tracking down Series 5 onwards.
The BBC remove most of their shows from Youtube I have put 1989 series on in 10 minute segments which has stayed on but I know someone put most of the series on in full episodes and they soon got removed.
I have a theory on DVD releases though... I, like many others, would be unwilling to buy DVDs of programmes that I'd like to see again because of the space they take up in the house. If I'd bought everything on DVD that I've watched on YouTube and other sites over the past year, I'd be wading in the stuff. A lot of the programmes are things you'd want to watch once or twice anyway. So unless it's classic films or concerts, most DVD releases are on a hiding to nothing.
An online subscription service for streaming of old programmes would, I think, be far more popular. I bet BBC would be surprised how many would want to watch GH this way if it were available.
Cant remember the guys name, but i remember JLC searched for him, and found him in an office, and the guy was really guiite blushy, ill agree to chat but not with the cameras there.
I think his reasoning, had something to do with the Just Say No campaign, and the time they went to the White House and had to say a pledge saying that they had all been squeaky clean during the lives, while in real life, i think a few possibly this guy had dibbled
Not a very 'christian' pledge that is it? Jesus is supposed to love 'sinners who repent'!
