Imelda 614 Posted August 2, 2023 Just listening to The Reunion episode for Grange Hill. Todd Carty sounds awful, more 79 than 59. Has he got fat? Sounds like it. Susan Tully sounds as she ever did and Simone Nylander could pass for 10 years younger. Zammo, Ro-land and Phil Redmond are the other guests. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001b3tw 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,421 Posted August 3, 2023 Actually saw Todd Carty a few months ago. Looked good for his age, still quite active and actively touring as a theatre actor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I should have added his "voice acting" - I have also played a few of the video games that he contributed to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted February 23 Strange thing: just yesterday I was reminded of the storyline in Brookside where Harry Cross wouldn't talk to his son because he was living "over the brush," and I remembered that he'd been in Grange Hill too. I can't have thought about it since c.1986. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
