Miss
Mooney actress Lucinda Gane dies
LUCINDA GANE, remembered by many 80s fans as muddle-headed science
mistress Miss Mooney in Grange Hill, has died of cancer. She lost her battle with
the disease on 6th October 2005.
In addition to her Grange Hill role, Lucinda was also known as Emily Rudge
in Thomas And Sarah, she also starred as Foljambe in Mapp and Lucia. Lucinda was
married to the writer Christopher Reid, with whom she also worked.
On screen, Miss Mooney arrived in 1980 as a new science teacher who became
engaged to colleague Mr Sutcliffe. Lucinda left Grange Hill in 1983 when
the character took a teaching job in Liverpool.
Our deepest sympathies are with Lucinda's family. Before her death she managed
to complete an interview for Grange
Hill Gold, and you can read it here.

Now
it's Grange Hill - The Movie!
AS GRANGE HILL EDGES TOWARDS its 30th anniversary,
creator Phil Redmond has announced plans to move the series to the big screen.
Grange Hill - The Movie will begin shooting early next year for an Autumn
release. The film will be the first from Phil's new film company, Merseyfilm.
"I have been thinking about the idea for two years," he explains in the Liverpool
Echo. "I am writing the script now and I should be ready to start shooting in
Spring 2007 for an Autumn release that year.
"I will be filming in and around Merseyside and I will look at where
some of the old characters are now and what happened to them."
No decisions have been made about casting, but Phil aims to make an accessible,
big-screen version of the show. The storyline focuses on bullying in modern British
schools.

Tommy
Watson says hello
WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO Paul McCarthy who played
Tommy Watson in the early years of Grange Hill? Paul himself dropped us a line
recently to update us on life "after school". He's still very much in
the acting business and has just completed a movie, Through The Looking Glass,
due for release shortly. Read Paul's message on CAN U HELP?.
