You Know The Teacher (Smash Head) is the most iconic track on Grange Hill: The Album because it is both the official anti-Bronson anthem AND the official Gonch/Ziggy anthem, in this essay I will

I love Penny Lewis so much you have no idea. 

At first she seems like the typical posh nerdy kid who wants to always follow the rules and stay out of trouble, but then you get to know her and Penny Lewis has NO CHILL. Penny Lewis would fight a bitch. Penny Lewis would lie and cheat to get people on her side. Penny Lewis doesn’t give a FUCK about your rules, only her own rules and her own sense of common decency.

Penny Lewis is a true politician and there is no doubt in my mind that Penny Lewis went on to become prime minister in the Grange Hill universe, because Penny Lewis is UNSTOPPABLE.

You, a fool: Banksie in Grange Hill hated Zammo and only liked Jackie

Me, an intellectual: Banksie is the biggest bisexual disaster of all time and was in love with both Jackie and Zammo.

You, the biggest fool of all time: Banksie was a violent bully and the bad guy

Me, an intellectual: Banksie tried to act tough but was actually the softest boy in the whole world and actually even nicer and kinder than Zammo most of the time

I was only going to make one, but there were just too many choices for each, so I did one for each main era and one for the teachers.

I FOUND THE CUTEST THING THAT’S EVER HAPPENED

[northamandbeyond]

Bratz Magazine, March 2007

[great-tv-dramas]

I want to take a moment to appreciate the scenes in series 13 of Grange Hill where Tegs Ratcliff and Matthew Pearson refered to Justine’s boyfriend who was twice the size of them as ‘that kid’ and said how they’d beat him up if it wouldn’t make things so inconvienient for them

TINY BOYS

[northamandbeyond]

Your Fave is Problematic: Tommy Watson

Stowed away to France illegally

Too busy thinking about girls to think of anything else

Laughs at Doyle’s racist jokes and then hangs out with Benny and Hughesy in literally the very next scene

Two-times Tucker’s gang with Doyle’s

Can’t decide whose side he’s on

Mocks Justin and Andrew’s beautiful love

Is actually a boy called Underwood

Stole the real Tommy Watson’s identity

Once appeared in a PE lesson during a series he wasn’t even supposed to be in

#1 most mysterious character

[northamandbeyond]

Your Fave is Problematic: Luke ‘Gonch’ Gardner

Loves money more than he loves himself

But loves himself way more than he loves anything or anyone else 

Causes nothing but problems for his friends

Made Mr MacKenzie miss the ferry

Never apologises for any of this

Has the stupidest money making plans ever 

Narcissistic beyond belief

Entitled middle class white boy

Takes his trousers off in public way too much

Way too tall. Shouldn’t be allowed

Literally never learns from his mistakes

Isn’t even aware he even makes mistakes

Isn’t aware that other people find him annoying

Never learns

Ever

[northamandbeyond]

Your Fave Is Problematic: Kieran ‘Ozzie’ Osbourne

Tormented an innocent man to the verge of a breakdown

Sold cigarettes to children

will steal yo girl

#1 world champion at overreacting

acts evil and emotionless but gets offended and upset over the slightest thing

Has the same name as Ozzy Osbourne

lurks in the shadows and smirks

dresses all in black

does dramatic supervillian reveals

first name ‘kieran’ literally means ‘dark one’

is literally the least subtle villian ever

how does he hope to not get noticed

indirectly caused a school to explode

why is he your fave?

why is he my fave?

why is he anyone’s fave?

I don’t even know

Confession time: Every time I see the word “treasure”, I mentally read it in this voice.
