RIP Benny. That was my era. Tucker, Benny, Allan and Trisha Yate (and Suzanne Tully - can't remember her character though).

RIP Benny - One of the first regular positive black youths on TV.

He'll be answering that eternal question - Should he play for the school or county

RIP Benny. So sad. The first kid to appear in the first episode. Benny and Tucker were always the lads I wanted to be.

RIP Benny lad  :'(

Also remember him in the 'The Firm' with Gary Oldman. Think he got cut up on an away day by the Birmingham crew.

On a lighter note, check out the teacher knuckle rap on tuckers head at 7:45 in the video.  Funny as fuck. Imagine doing that nowadays!!!

Good film that, watched it again the other day. Can't stand the usual hooligan films about football but The Firm does a good job.

Ahh man.  George Armstong has died aged 60.  Following a long battle with Leukemia.

George played Tucker's mate Alan Humphries and was one of the original cast members.

I really feel a twinge of sadness when I see Grange Hill characters from my day pass away.  Once innocent kids now old men with horrible diseases and suchlike   :(

I remember watching the early seasons of Grange Hill in the late 90's on Sunday mornings on BBC 2.

It was a Sunday morning show that had clips of Dennis Pennis on it as well.

"Flippin 'eck Tucker"

I say this to my youngest when i don't want to use the phrase "for fucks sake".  Was only 3 weeks back when i explained where the phrase came from whilst we were trotting around London.
