SERIES 27
Cast & Crew
Togger, Abel and Andy turned up early at school, armed with spades in their quest for the time capsule. They were almost interrupted by Wally but he didn't notice them. Ian persisted in trying to make contact with Shannon, but she accused him of stalking. At school, Mel tried offering Shannon the benefit of her experience - she too had lost her grandad.

Tanya came to school wearing a fake tan. Wally confronted the lads for digging up the garden while Tanya tried pushing Emma and Andy together. Tanya tried to muscle in on the time capsule search, but Togger sent her away. Kathy told Maddie what happened but insisted it wasn't Martin's fault. Martin couldn't understand why Kathy was blanking him. Maddie confronted Martin in class; telling him he was a sleazebag just like everyone else. Martin asked Josh why Kathy was blanking him; Josh asked if he'd got his timing right and Martin was furious Josh didn't mention this to him. Josh asked Kathy what happened and she continued to defend him. Kathy was furious with Maddie for trashing Martin, and they came to blows in the corridor.

Annie left her project notes at home and went back to get them. She returned to find her dad in a volatile state and he refused to let her out the door. Once he calmed down, Owen told Annie he didn't want her to be like him and that she shouldn't have come home. Annie was understanding if nervous and asked for an assurance he wouldn't disappear again. Tanya was furious Annie wasn't there for their presentation. Wally made the lads fill the holes they dug and carry in some doors (with secret compartments) in for him. Tanya again demanded in on the capsule scam; Togger shut her inside the door! Eventually Wally revealed the location of the capsule - in the sports fields which were sold off.

Shannon and Mel became friendly. She wondered why she should care about her gran as she'd die eventually. Ian couldn't believe his ears and she later arranged to meet Nick. Taylor revealed Nick's secret in front of the whole playground. Nick was desperate to find Anika to put his side of the story, but she was reading about the attack on the web. Spencer warned Anika against being quick to judge; no-one knew better than him what it's like to be branded racist. Anika confronted Nick and an angry crowd gathered. Taylor said Nick wasn't welcome at Grange Hill.

Alarm bells rang when Baz discovered Annie wasn't in school. He rushed home to find how nervous Annie was around her father. He angrily told him Annie shouldn't have to deal with his problems at her age, and if he didn't sort himself out he and Annie would leave.
