and for Grange Hill watchers Mr Robson, who was the head of PE and then years later became the Head of the whole school, taking over from Mrs McCluskey, played Harry & Edna’s son Kevin, who was living with ‘Wendy Crozier’ and her daughter despite her (shocked face) being married to someone else

Ah that's another I've 'seen' before, loving rewatching this and trying to remember what they've been in!
Is it in the sky channels?It will be on stv player from 1st February, going right back to the start.
I can’t wait, used to love watching it with my mum. After Laura died from switching on a light I was scared to touch a light switch for months
Sinbad was my favourite until tinhead came along and I fell in love with Philip Olivier.
Will anyone else be watching?
If you’re not in Scotland you’ll have to download the STV app I think? I’m in Scotland so get STV catch up via Sky
Ah you're a Scotty! Love hearing where folks are from!
I am! Up in the frozen north. I used to watch River City religiously but I haven’t seen it in years (if it’s even still on). That was a cracking soap!
I've never seen River City, used to watch Take the high road, Mrs Mack used to scare me!
It was amazing!! Lots of fond memories of watching it with my mum and grandma. I think STV player have that too, or they used to anyway
It really was an underestimated soap down here, I loved it, wasn't the bad boy Sneddon?
Think it's on STV, but I have so much on my watchlist!
Sorry brookie fans for going off topic
and the woman who played Alan’s mum was Nana Moon in Eastenders in the 00s (Alfie & Spencer’s nan)
I recognised her Lovie!!!
She even spoke in the same voice. I thought her Nana Moon voice was slightly put on but apparently not
Ahhhh yessss i couldnt place her. Thanks for that!
I really liked her, felt like a lovely granny, but must admit did get abit boring after a while!
I am watching every episode - and am still finding the Alan Partridge character quite ridiculous.
I felt exactly the same when I watched it first time, around 40 years ago!
Damon’s girlfriend being called Pat. This didn’t seem that odd back then (though Patricia’s that I went to school with - were usually shortened to Trish).
Pat seems such an old name for a teenager

There’s never any change to Alan’s voice, like he’s reading a long text message with no punctuation! I’m not sure what the point in the character is.I am watching every episode - and am still finding the Alan Partridge character quite ridiculous.

I must’ve missed an episode but what happened to the girl Barry picked up hitch hiking who pretended she couldn’t speak English? One minute she was living with Alan and Paul was chasing her around the garden and the next she’d gone. (I probably answered my own question there, being chased by Paul would make anyone pack up and leave pretty sharpish)
I don’t think you missed anything, she just disappeared never to be mentioned again
They were definitely still finding their feet in the early days!
Yes it feels really disjointed, Alan Partridge needing permission to go out for a drink, but was really creepy around Heather's place, glad she put him right! And Bobby being 46, even watching now I thought he was older! Paul Collins calling his wife 'old girl', he'd have no teeth left if he'd called me that! (I know that's how some folks used to speak back then!)
