Episode Five: Food Fight

Footballers, eh? They’ve got it all. A fun job, the fame, loads of money, but they haven’t got the adoration of the students at Grange Hill!

Ambassadors of Grange Hill, Tanya and Togger are given the task of looking after ex-pupil and football star Dwayne Miller. Time for the rest of Grange Hill to sabotage proceedings!

Dwayne visits the school to promote his new cookery book, but Jenny’s not impressed and wants to teach him a lesson. Talking of cookery, Tom and Dequaine (who play Laxo and Theo) are in our latest Backstage Video discussing school dinners. You can also watch a spoiler video of next week’s birthday blues episode too, as well watching the current food fight episode on the iPlayer.

Not everyone’s against the footballer though. Rachel and Lucy take quite a fancy to him, and for some reason Bryn decides to help the star.

Theo and Laxo have got more than a footballer to worry about, as they hatch a cunning plan to try and find uber-geek Gyngell, who may hold the key to their homework dilemma. Check out food fight photos!

Episode Four: Double Cross Country


Not many people like cross-country and the students of Grange Hill are no different!

Chloe and Andrea get into all sorts of outrageous escapades, as they try and do anything to avoid taking part in the Grange Hill cross-country run. You can see what Mia and Darcy (who play Chloe and Andrea) think of their adventures in our Backstage Video. You can also watch a Spoiler Video of next week’s episode too, which has a footballer visiting the school. Watch the current cross-country episode on the iPlayer.

Like Chloe and Andrea, Alex, Ed, and Tigger don’t much like cross country either! In fact, they try their own special way to avoid running the race. Alison and Sammy maybe impressed by their antics, but will Mr. McDonnell think?

Kathy has given Laxo and Theo the task of filming the race. There will be plenty of action for them to cover, that’s for sure!

In this episode you also get the chance to meet two new Year 7s – Clooney and Gyngell. Clooney likes the ladies, while Gyngell is far more comfortable with Star Trek!

Episode Three: Election Special

It’s election time in Grange Hill and the students are battling it out to become Head Boy and Head Girl.

The Posh and Becks of Grange Hill, Tanya and Togger, are hoping for a double electoral victory. To help them succeed, they recruit their siblings. But Jenny and Lucy are at each other’s necks, and aren’t helping at all! Will this affect Tanya and Togger’s campaign? Only time will tell.

In this week’s Backstage Video we introduce you to Sam, the fresh-faced youngster who plays Clooney. He’ll be in next week’s episode, which is all about cross-country and you can see a sneak preview of that episode in our Spoiler Video. You can also watch episode 3’s election madness on the iPlayer. Check out these election photos too.

Meanwhile, back in the Community Learning Centre, Kathy is running a project for the Year Six pupils. The children are asked to report on the election for their own website. What scandals will they unveil?

Episode Two: Boarderman

Accidents do happen, and when they happen in Grange Hill they lead to all manner of mischief!

Skateboarding is banned in school when Theo is involved in an accident that causes Lucy and Rachel’s computer game to smash.

Lucy starts a campaign to ban all sports in the schoolyard, so Laxo sets up his own campaign… ‘Set Skateboarding Free’.

The two tearaways from this episode, Dequaine and Tom (who play Theo and Laxo) are the stars of this week’s Backstage Video and they’re talking about sport.

But, back to the story! Theo and Laxo aren’t the only ones distracted by the campaign, as a masked skateboarding hero then shows up, but who is it? Ed and Tigger nickname this mystery figure ‘Boarderman’, but can Boarderman change the mind of Mr. McDonnell to allow skateboarding in Grange Hill once again? Look at these photos of Boarderman!
