SYNOPSIS

A new year, new pupils and a new set of challenges for the staff and children at Grange Hill as lack of funding affects them all in one way or another.

Grange Hill series 5 – It’s a new term at Grange Hill and new pupils including Zammo McGuire, Roland Browning, Annette Firman and Fay Lucas start at the school; “Gripper” Stebson quickly finds himself a new victim.

Jonah Jones and Zammo create havoc with stink bombs, much to the amusement of the boys. The offer of sex education lessons causes a mixture of mirth, embarrassment and consternation to both pupils and parents alike. An accusation of impropriety rocks the school and Stebson’s bullying culminates in a tragic accident. These are just some of the issues dealt with by head teacher, Mrs McClusky, as the term unfolds at Grange Hill.

Grange Hill Series 6 – A school trip to St Albans takes a potentially dangerous turn when Annette Firman and Julie Marchant foolishly accept a lift from strangers.

Romance blossoms for Claire Scott and “Stewpot” as they get caught necking in a cupboard. Despite recent events, “Gripper” Stebson’s bullying escalates into racism that results in his suspension from the school, and Mr McGuffey, often a quiet champion of satirical subversion, is suspended by Mrs McClusky leading the pupils to organise a rally for his return.

Originally broadcast by the BBC in 1982 and 1983, Eureka Entertainment is pleased to present this 6-disc, boxed set featuring all 34 episodes from series 5 & 6 for the very first time on DVD.
