GRANGE Hill fans can now stay in and watch episodes of the iconic children's series for an entire month with this box set.

The first episode aired in 1978, so it really was a long time ago, but any nostalgia soon evaporates at the sight of teachers delivering fierce ear twists and sharp knuckle-raps to the skulls of badly behaved schoolboys.

Hilarious! This is not just a good children's drama, it's a social time capsule.

There are some wonderful moments, such as Mr Mitchell catching Tucker pinging elastic bands at Tricia Yates. A rap over the head is followed by: "Are you trying to put her eye out? Were you born stupid or is it something you developed yourself?" Those were the days!
