984 Chalkface
First viewed : May 1991
This BBC Two drama series has really fallen into a black hole. It was like Grange Hill for grown-ups with the focus on the teachers at a comprehensive school in Birmingham. Nine episodes were made and the show has never been repeated. I think part of the reason for its obscurity is the lack of name actors in the cast. Big Brother contestant turned TV host , Alison Hammond, was in one episode as a kid but that's about it.
I only recall it because it was on just before the last few episodes of Twin Peaks on a Tuesday so I would catch the last five minutes and Alan Price's theme song.
