SERIES 27
Cast & Crew
Grange Hill reopened for a new school year. Togger was busy showisis "weapons of mass destruction" - chicken claws! He tried selling ones Jeremy. And there was still no love lost between Karen and Tanya - the latter found herself pulled up yet again because of her appearance. Work was complete on the school - now a specialist technology college.

For once, Annie arrived on time but Maddie wanted to know where Baz was. Then Tanya asked about her dad and Annie wondered if people were talking about her. Calvin showed off his new photo phone; Mel wasn't happy at being snapped while Anika admitted she'd been unable to persuade Amy to return to school. Josh tried to make Anika jealous as he passed her. Ian returned with a more positive attitude towards schoolwork which impressed Malachay. Ian was concerned that Shannon wasn't answering the phone. Ian tried to warn Mel off Nick but failed miserably. Nick goaded Ian who warned him to steer clear else his "big secret" would be revealed.

Spencer looked forward to two years' slacking in the sixth form; Anika was not impressed. The lads skived in search of a prize-winning photo - eventually they got one of Anika falling over but were interrupted by Mrs Knuckle who confiscated the phone. Maddie and Karen jibed Kathy and Martin about their relationship - or lack of pashing. Maddie and Baz were back on now that Baz had revealed all.

In assembly, Mrs Bassinger trumpets the new technological facilities, including swipe cards and electronic registers. She announced that at the end of the year, Grange Hill would be celebrating 125 years of there being a school on its site and wanted ideas for the festivities. A clock counted down to the end of term. Mrs Bassinger urged everyone to make a fresh start for the new year.

Returning pupil Taylor - back at Grange Hill after being excluded from his last school - is late for assembly and immediately got on the wrong side of Malachay. Karen and Maddie were surprised at Taylor's return; Mrs Bassinger was not impressed by his attitude and ordered him to see her after school. Ian invited Taylor back on the football team if he lost the attitude. Baz arrived late after a hospital appointment only to face questioning from Josh and Mrs Bassinger.

Martin asked Kathy what's wrong. She insists there was nothing but is clearly preoccupied; She rebuffs Martin when he tried to kiss her. Annie became more paranoid and Emma put her foot in it trying to help. Tanya accused Emma of spreading more gossip. Togger and co. messed with their chicken claws in class; they thought they could use them to cadge a free packet of crisps from the tuck shop but failed miserably. Ian became increasingly worried about Shannon and his suspicions mounted when her grandparents' shop was closed. Taylor tried cracking on to Mel. Nick was horrified to see Taylor back - do they have a history?
