"Byker, Byker, Byker, Byker Grove - yeah!"

Tomorrow we're off to the set of Byker Grove. Since there's a series playing right now, I guess they won't be filming anything when we're there, which is a shame because I'd want a walk on part, heh

Actually, I don't know why we're going. Most people don't even know we ARE going, that's how unorganised my course is.

I know a load of people who have been in Byker Grove, either as characters or extras, but that's to be expected, since I live in Newcastle... although a lot of the actors are from Sunderland (you can tell by the accent, Geordies don't sound like that in real life)

Grrrr

We were meant to be lectured by this old bloke, who's like Alan Partridge (even has a PA with him) and drives a jubbs mobile, in the morning, then he was meant to take us down to the set of Byker Groooove, man, w'aye

He didn't tell us why, but we weren't going there today, so instead we were lectured by him ALL day... booooring

Ah well, at least I get tomorrow off. We're going on a trip to Yorkshire, or something, but I didn't want to go so I told them I had a dentist appointment. So, instead, I'll be going in to college and messing around with some cameras with my mates who aren't going either

Well what a surprise.
I find 12.0, 12.1 12.2 12.3 12.5 and 12.6 came today but no bloody 12.4 :(

cool, i've kept my old magazines so i'll look now. What do i get for guessing right?

Err... sorry I aint kept any back catalogues

Here's a challenge for you - find a picture of a Byker Grove character in issue 12.4 of the Special Reserve mag. Look close now.

An older kiddy-fiddly James Hetfield maybe.

A tracksuit, huge moustache and left in charge of orphans?

Catholic Nightmare?

I always thought the guy with the moustache looked like an older James Hetfield. With a geordie accent. And a lack of rock poses. And no 'hell yeah's.

Is this the thing about Geordie Orphans?
It spawned the career of Ant "n" Dec?
Had a bloke with a handlebar moustache and tracksuit (WARNING WILL! DANGER TO KIDS!) in charge, in fact, of kids?

It licked balls.

Wai aye man go'in down Byker Grooove

No offence, but Byker Grove sucks!

I hated it 10 years ago and I've seen it go even further downhill since.
