time 8,682 Posted October 21, 2015 Paual Ann Bland and Todd Carty are possibly the most famous Grange Hill pupils. Alex Kingston (River Song) herself played a bully in an early series. Susan Tully & Sean McGuire isn't Paula Ann Bland mostly remembered for losing her bikini top in some clip or other? Her last acting credit is from 1994. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,255 Posted January 9, 2016 Sadly, no information on when he died, but Michael Percival who played Mr Mitchell, the very first form teacher of Tucker, Benny, Justin, Trisha et al died sometime between 1 May and 9 November 2015. His death is mentioned in the In Memoriam section of the Winter edition of Equity Magazine (page 16) available here. https://www.equity.org.uk/documents/equity-magazine-winter-2015/ Might be worth checking names mentioned there in case we missed anyone else. I was alerted to this by his mention in the Doctor Who In Memoriam video I posted on the British Science Fiction thread. I really liked his character who left at the end of Series 2 I believe. I'm so disappointed that there appears to be zero coverage of his passing elsewhere, however it may be that the family wanted that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shit, I remember watching Grange Hill from the start and that fella didn't look like he was acting he WAS a teacher just like those I were taught by.
