Because they had to put something on after they decided to lose Neighbours
and this is the easy option that requires very little thought.

Why couldn't these *******s have extended children's programmes until 6

See above.

which would have also given them a reason to keep Grange Hill on air (agreed
that when it moved to Liverpool it became unwatchable rubbish, but they
could have moved it back to London again.)

Anything that undergoes such a radical transformation 29 years into what
inevitably becomes a 30 year run is doomed to failure. They just didn't
have the balls to cancel it last year.

How old are you and why do you like watching Grange Hill, which features
teenage children?
That's not the sort of thing most normal adults do.

I must be spending too much time reading this website...

Which website is that then?

I knew who this post was from purely by the subject, before I even saw the
name...

You'll find that children are getting less and less interested in
broadcast TV these days. How many kids have you got, and how old are they
?


Agreed.
Mine are boys aged 9 and 7 and they enjoy some programmes on CBBC. MI
High, Stupid, Tracey Beaker etc.
They also occasionally watch Jetix at grandparents, mainly because they
don't at home!

They hardly ever watch the main 5 channels, and when they were younger I
could control viewing in their playroom by leaving the Freeview box on
CBeebies and removing the Freeview and TV remotes!

Their viewing of TV is about 60-90 minutes per day, and I often find the
TV on and both of them doing something else.

Fighting?

Only about 50% of the time.

There was something on C4 late morning today that said the same thing and
how
they are having to change what they deliver to try and win back the
audiences
that have little or no interest. Seems like a futile exercise to me.
As a result, the whole of TV now seems to be run (by and) for f*cking
brats.
I really don't understand why this should be so, like many other things in
this God awful country.

Really.
Which programmes are you thinking of (excluding most ITV output of course)?

IDIOT!

I used to watch it when I was younger and when it had a sixth form and
mostly followed what the teachers did until they ones that were there in the
80's all left and it became rubbish.

That's not the sort of thing most normal adults do.

So you've never watched My Family, Harry Potter, The Wizard of Oz, AI, or
The Phantom Menace I take it.

Moved to Liverpool?

Was that like wartime evacuation?


Someone threw a sausage with fork stuck in it, so
the HSE closed the school.

Grange Hill was crap right from the word go. A tool to get people
hooked on soap operas at a young age.

How old were you when Grange Hill started? (if you don't mind me asking...)
