Grange Hill

Episode 18 (2x18)

Air date: Mar 02, 1979

It is almost the end of the school year and there is an open day on the horizon. The First Years are creating an exhibit on "The History of Grange Hill" as their project. Judy Preston arrives at Grange Hill as part of a delegation from Brookdale challenging Grange Hill to an end of term General Knowledge Quiz. It will take place as part of the open day. The pupils selected to represent Grange Hill are chosen by a simple ballot method. Hughes, Antoni and Susi will represent the First Year. Hughes realises he has an awful grasp of General Knowledge and tries to back out but it is too late. Trisha and Cathy produce an exhibit on "school uniform through the ages", and Tucker & Co produce various models showing Grange Hill past and present. Llewellyn unveils a model of the projected new assembly hall that can be built after an improvement grant has been approved by the Council. Doyle steals some of Tucker's models and then locks the models in a cupboard with Hughes. The quiz is starting and the First Year round is postponed until Hughes appears. Tucker and his gang corner Doyle and force him to lead them to their models and in the process Hughes is freed. He returns to take part in the quiz but his efforts are in vain as Brookdale win by a point. Mitchell announces that he is leaving Grange Hill and as a leaving present Tucker gives him his rubber "chicken foot" and Mitchell tells him that it's "Just what I've always wanted!".
