THE WEEKLY NEWS FROM GH ONLINE
Issue 50 17 April 2005

Hi folks...

Oh dear...just when we'd restored the chatroom we had technical problems again earlier this week. The good news is it's all under control...meanwhile another face from Grange Hill's Class of 1986 came out of the shadows!

Louise Webb lays down the law!
ALISON McLAUGHLIN -
who played Louise Webb in the mid-1980s, has been in touch to update us on her progress post-Grange Hill. The former actress is now a practising lawyer in London, though Alison was still acting only a few years ago. Read what she has to say in CAN U HELP?

Chat Room technical problems fixed
THE CHAT ROOM IS NOW BACK ONLINE
following Thursdays' technical problems which saw the service temporarily suspended.

All registered members of the GH Online forum can use the chat room - their username and password are the same for both. However, new-ly activated forum members should be aware that it may take up to four hours for them to be added to the chat room database. This is because we're using a new system. Sorry if that's a pain but worth the wait!

Congratulations Katrina!
SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE GH ONLINE FORUM
came up trumps in Mersey TV's Grange Hill competition. The overall winner was Katrina Bonnon (togger-is-fit) who wins a visit from the cast of Grange Hill to her school!

Runners-up include Greg Cooper, Megan Hazley and Ruth Currie who win signed photos of the Grange Hill cast. Well done everyone!

 

Exclusive! Series 1 DVD on the way soon
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS YOU ASK US most often is where can I get Grange Hill on DVD. Sadly the answer is you can't. Until now!

GHTV will shortly be releasing a collector's edition DVD of the complete Series 1, originally shown in 1978. The episodes are sourced from off-air recordings and digitally remastered by GH Online volunteers. The DVD will be available to registered forum members and the only charges will be for postage and packing.

More details and screen grabs are now available at www.grangehill.net/ghtv/dvd_series1.html, with further information nearer release. Stay tuned!
