BBC announces Grange Hill will end
The BBC has announced that its school drama 'Grange Hill' is to end after 30 long time.
At a launch for newly and recurring dramas for CBBC today, it was announced the upcoming series of 'Grange Hill' would be the conclusion.
Announcing the end of 'Grange Hill', Anne Gilchrist, Controller, CBBC, said: "Part of CBBC's reputation for reflecting coeval UK back to UK children has been built upon Phil Redmond's ['Grange Hill' creator] brightly realised idea and of course it's sad to say adieu to such a much loved institution. The lives of children get changed a great deal since 'Grange Hill' began and we owe it to our hearing to muse this."
She continued: "We're actively seeking out freshly and exciting shipway of bringing social platonism to the CBBC audience through drama and other genres. Yesterday we announced two 'Newsround' Specials tackling split up and tongue criminal offense and we will proceed to get programmes around the ups and downs of coeval Britain."
Jon Eastern United States, Read/write head of CBBC Drama, said: "For 30 age, Grange Hill has turn a proverb for realistic and contemporary children's drama. It's now fourth dimension to hold what we've learned over the days to about of the fresh ideas we're exploring."
