THE WEEKLY NEWS FROM GH ONLINE Issue 78 05 March 2006
Hi!

Great to have Grange Hill back this week with double the amount of weekly episodes! And a lot went on - Tanya's new figure made an instant impression with Togger while Emma returned to school with a changed outlook on life. Baz continued his losing streak romance-wise, and blocked drains caused chaos...

Holly

Togger and Tanya

Last week on Grange Hill
TERM STARTED ON MONDAY
at Grange Hill, with the school toilets flooded thanks to a blocked drain. Things got so bad Mrs Bassinger had to send everyone home before installing portaloos. Chloe & cronies cashed in by selling the toilet paper until Dawn caught them in the act.

Tanya came to school wearing a padded bra - but Miss Adams ordered her to remove it. She then wore a pump-up bra which attracted unwanted attention from boys. Togger was transfixed by her new look, but Emma had no time for vanity - a recent holiday in Indonesia gave her a new social conscience.

Maddie was back to her old bitch self in the sixth form, while Baz's new love Holly blew him out after hearing about his problems at home! Baz tried and failed to make up with her, even after saving her from an oncoming dustcart. Martin walked away from Maddie after she continued to mess with his head.

Mrs Bassinger announced an enterprise competition, with a top prize of £500. Ideas came aplenty with Year 8's remote controlled car races, an after-school club from Kathy, and wedding videos from Kat and Dawn. Taylor returned to the sixth form after begging with Mrs Bassinger. Tanya began a crusade against the girls' PE skirts, and for her troubles got a starring role in Dawn's video as bride to Togger's groom!
