Joshua worried about being a target as Mauler. Could that be why he
moved Down Under?

SIMILARITIES TO SCREEN PERSONA:
Josh told No.1 Magazine in 1988 that he couldn't stand
Mauler, and that he was a real moron. If Mauler and Josh
came face to face, they'd have ended up killing each other!
YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW...
Joshua was worried how Mauler McCaul would be perceived
by the Grange Hill audience when he joined the show,
especially with all the flak Mark Savage took for playing
Gripper. But he needn't have worried - Mauler and his
gridiron crew provided the series with lots of great
comedy compared to Gripper's thuggery.
WHERE IS HE NOW...?
Josh trained at Italia Conti and after spending time as
a drama teacher in New Zealand, Josh has returned to live
in Ramsgate.
