Was? IS, jason, IS. One of the main problems GH faces is it is continually spoken about by journalists and documentary makers as if the series is no longer in production. I have been approached by many journalists over the years requesting help with Grange Hill articles but they are almost always interested in only the first 12 years of the show.
It seems next year's 30th anniversary celebrations for GH will be just as biased. Lime Pictures supplied me with a list of "early years" characters and asked did I have contact details for a planned publicity blitz involving programmes such as Loose Women and This Morning. Once again, I tried to persuade them that ignoring the later years would not provide a rounded celebration of the series' life.
In 1998, during Grange Hill's 20th anniversary celebrations the producer was so pissed off with the bias toward the show's past he rang This Morning asking them to remind them Grange Hill was "still on". People can decide for themselves whether Grange Hill is as good today, but the fact is it's still being made and the journos are unhelpful in this respect.
