BBC Denies Reports of 'Grange Hill' Return After 17 Years

The broadcaster says stories about a reboot sourced to a tabloid insider are not accurate.

Overview

  • A BBC spokesperson said there is no truth to reports that Grange Hill is set to return to the broadcaster.
  • Claims of a revival circulated on November 24–25 after multiple outlets repeated a Sun report citing an unnamed TV insider.
  • Those reports suggested a reworked series focused on contemporary youth issues such as online trolling and trans topics.
  • The original BBC children’s drama ran from 1978 to 2008 and became known for tackling subjects including AIDS and drug abuse.
  • Coverage noted a previous attempt to revive the property as a film about two years ago, which did not move forward.
