Grange Hill

Grange Hill was a drama surrounding a comprehensive school in London, created by Phil Redmond. The series ran from 8th February 1978 to 15th September 2008 and was transmitted on BBC1/BBC One.
The programme was originally produced by the BBC and filmed at the BBC Television Centre (later BBC Elstree Centre). In 2003, Redmond's company Mersey Television began producing the programme instead. Filming moved to Campus Manor shortly the ending of Redmond's Channel 4 soap opera Brookside, with Brookside's sets being divided between Grange Hill and Redmond's other Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks. After Grange Hill's cancellation in 2008, Hollyoaks inherited the programme's sets - with the exterior set for the school notably becoming the set for Hollyoaks High School.
