	Grange Hill
		Grange Hill is a successful children's soap opera set in a fictional East London comprehensive school.
		Throughout the years, Grange Hill has explored this theme, the idea that children engage with and are affected by politics even though the public tries to protect them or deny their interest in social matters.
		This series was neither as popular as nor as controversial as Grange Hill largely because it was shown against the early evening news on both BBC 1 and ITV.

		From the off 'Grange Hill' went for sensitive, true-life situations, it's first 'issue' being one of racial prejudice as young Benny (Terry Sue Patt) is referred to by one student as a 'golly'.
		One irate viewer wrote to the BBC to say that she was disgusted by the series...'This is not entertainment' she wrote, '...but a glamorisation of hooliganism and the abominable attitude of children to their teachers'.

	GRANGE HILL OVERVIEW
		Grange Hill is one of the most successful television children's dramas of all time.
		Grange Hill has been running for over 20 years and many of the actors have gone on to star in other well known programmes such as Brookside, ER and Eastenders.
		Unfortunately Grange Hill in Y2K is a pale shadow of its former self: with plot lines too predictable, too many weak characters, and too much emphasis on political correctness.
