AMAZON REVIEW
The second DVD release from the archives of Grange Hill, this DVD set brings together series three and four of the show, originally broadcast back in the early 1980s.

34 episodes are included in all, spread across the six discs in the set, and theres a register of characters to get Grange Hill nostalgics happily reminiscing. On top of Tucker Jenkins and Benny Green, theres the introduction of Pogo Patterson and Duane Orpington, while by the fourth series, Mrs McCluskey had moved into the headteachers office, where shed stay for many years to come.

Joining Mrs McCluskey on the staff side were Grange Hill legends such as Mr Baxter, Hoppy Hopwood and Mr Sutcliffe, and between them they had plenty on their hands. From bike thieves to the tuck shop through to romance in the staff room and a member of the school council taking bribes, it was very much business as usual at Britains most infamous comprehensive school.

Series three and four really sees Grange Hill in confident form, consistently delivering interesting and progressive storylines for its cast of characters, that stand up well today. Whats remarkable is that far from enjoying this boxset as a simple look back to a golden part of childrens programming, youre likely to find yourself getting engrossed all over again. A smashing collection, that offers great value for money. Lets hope it doesnt take so long to release further series of the show. --Simon Brew
