I agree it declined massively in the last 3years due to it being aimed more at young teens than teens in general.

Remember when Noddy kissed Gary in the cinema and the furore it caused at the time? Ridiculous thinking back, he only kissed him on the cheek

Whilst Geoff died in Byker Grove in 1999/2000 (PJ and Duncan attended the funeral!) It appears the actor, Billy Fane is still acting as per http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0266711/

There was a reunion last month

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/north...2703-31008177/

The Grove itself, Benwell Towers (or the the former massive Mitre Pub as it was before it become Byker Grove) was sold in 2010 but it still lying empty and derelict

Thanks for the link ambassador, wish there were more pics of those who are not ant and dec and donna air.

Saw Jill Halfpenny in Abigails party recently and she was stunning. Its funny how many presenters the show generated and how few actors.

A lot of those people looked familiar but I couldn't place them with regards to the character.

I'm certain Fizz from Corrie was in this, early 90's circa. She was being interviewed on Ghost Train by a talking sheep in 1991 - 1992.

She was called Gemma. I remember that episode.
Jenny McAlpine (Fiz from Corrie) wasn't in Byker Grove, but she was in Childrens' Ward.

She was on her way to the Grove to watch it (they had a party for her). On the way a neighbour asked them for help with a flood. She (Gemma) was all wet and tried to fix the tv, touched a exposed plug and was electrocuted.

I used to work with Steven Bradley, who played 'Speedy' in the early days. Also one of the lads who went and formed that boy-band (Point Break?) was at Teesside Uni at around the same time as me in the mid-90's. Can't remember his name although we were on nodding terms - he recognized me from getting the bus back up to Newcastle.

Wasn't Donna Air recently taken to court in R B Kensington and Chelsea, accused of parking permit fraud?
