Anyone else attending this Grange Hill reunion next month? All the details are here and they've got some really good guests taking part. Really looking forward to seeing the Banksie/Zammo/Jackie love triangle together again!

I go to the venue for Dr Who events, so should be fun.

Why is he an idiot? Probably doesnt want anything to do with the fanboys/girls who are still obsessed with Grange Hill

I remember when zammo was a whippet thin boxer, nowadays he is sporting elasticated waistband and a huge gut..........wonder if he is going to show up looking like that

The excrutiatingly wooden "actress" who played Claire Scott apparently works in a shoe shop and it would be interesting to see how she looks these days.

Grange Hill only ended in 2008.

Good old Frisha Yates. I wonder will she show up?

I read that she owns a very successful PR company.

The website link in the OP shows that the reunion is amongst some of the 70s/80s cast

Adult Tickets: £42.00 (Includes two free autographs)
Then:
Autographs at £5 each!!!

What for a bunch of old has-beens that haven't worked since?!?!?

If I see someone and ask for their autograph they can either oblige or say no. Just what is this fleecing people for money for an autograph scam?

And that's before you have spent money getting their and for food at extortionate prices.

And you even have to print your own bloody tickets!

JUST SAY NO!

That seems a bit much. The vast majority of former Grange Hill stars from the 70s and 80s aren't even acting anymore, never mind in a league where they can charge a fiver for their autograph. Is the money going towards a charity or something?

Phoenix Lazarus · 23/04/14 - 13:47

I wonder if the actor who played Roland Browning will turn up? I think he got in trouble over drugs a few years back, didn't he?

If he does go, he'll be out of the door at the first sign of a black woman going 'Ro-land! Ro-land!'

The autograph of Pogo Patterson still has pride of place on my wall in the hallway, all my guests that come over always comment about what a legend he was and how amazed little old me managed to get a star of that calibers name. Makes me feel warm inside to see the jealousy on their faces when they enter the lounge and see A signed photo of Sir Dan of Kendall looking back at them.

Phoenix Lazarus · 23/04/14 - 14:04

Pogo Patterson: spiv, impresario and rabble-rouser. What a character he was!

Grouty · 23/04/14 - 15:40

Pogo Patterson was great, ive got a series on DVD thats got him in it

I'd like to see a Grange Hill renunion from my years of watching it. From Justine and Chrissy all the way up to when Judy was slashed by Sean after she went out with Wayne. Most of those people are still acting Francesca Martinez is a comedian, Iain RObertson is an actor and Kevin Bishop is a Hollywood star (well kinda). I'd rather see them than the 80s lot.

He obviousy wasent grateful of the job he was given.

I would have crawled over broken glass or hot coal to get a job like he got.

Lucy Van Pelt · 24/04/14 - 23:18

solenoid · 24/04/14 - 23:22

Replace the Michael Mcintyre show with the Erkan Mustafa show.

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for the reply - I am myself running the event.

Please appreciate that putting on an event involves a serious amount of money, from Paypal fees, website costs, venue hire, actor fees, printing costs. We currently have 14 guests and you get TWO free autographs per guest included in the ticket price - that is 28 free autographs - just £1.50 each. Compare this to major cult TV events like Showmasters, they charge £15 per autograph. That is exceptionally good value.

We also have a series of panels where the cast will be on stage reminiscing about their time on the show - for some of them the first time this has ever happened. It'll be a fun packed day for any Grange Hill fan.

Regarding the comment about "has been's" - which is quite rude, we have a number of the teaching staff with us who continue to act, including Chris Jury and Brian Capron who has been announced today.

We shall also be raising money for the Charity, Dandelion Time.

Hey there!
