My Uncle Directed it. It's (still!) my favourite thing he's done. I guess I was the perfect age for Going Out back then.

I'm 61 and loved this series back in the day ..❤️

Wow!!! This is what I'm talking about!! What a great time to be growing up, the best era ever!! The time machine is finished, I've got the cassette's Harrington jacket is on, who's coming back to the 80's? 👍😎

Brilliant to see this again in 2024...Brilliant series watching in 1981 as a 15 year old.

I left school in 1981. This series perfectly reflected what it was like. Can't believe it was 43 years ago now.

I remember sneaking downstairs to watch this from the hallway when my parents were watching it! I loved this show. Thank you for sharing this :)

I saw this as a kid. Been thinking of this on and off. Now seeing it after, like, 39 years. Ha, it's amazing!

Thank you so much for uploading this. I gave up looking for it a few years ago. The theme tune randomly came to mind and it prompted me to search YT once again. At last.... somebody has uploaded it. Good old days in England. Pubs closing at 10.30pm midweek and Sundays & 11pm Fridays & Saturdays. TV stations shutting down around midnight, and the only worry we had back then was if your giro would land through your door on time so you could go and get pissed and play the fruit machines. One of Maggie’s Millions. Cheers 👍😊

Loved this program as a kid. 👍🇬🇧

Thank God for KZfaq. A treasure from my youth returned to me. xxx

Wow - loved this. Theme tune still stuck in head. (lots of Grange Hill faces in it too!)

I didn't remember this , like a Tuckers Luck for grown ups. thanks for uploading.

Loved this show. If I remember correctly it was one of the first programmes on C4 back in 82.unfortunately the transmission signal was bad for the first few months just like CH5 in 97.got to watch it properly. Can't wait

I enjoy watching this , takes me back. I was about to leave school was this was being shown. Great memories.

Blimey! This takes me back, enjoyed it as a spotty oik, thanks for uploading!

Just had to subscribe mate! I'm 51 now but watching this makes me feel 15 again! If only eh?

One of my favourite programs when I was growing up I loved it it was so real

Wow! how did this come back into my head ... gotta love youtube

Filmed in my home town of Portsmouth, few mentioned the future Bill stars, but Mark Francis (blonde one) was in the band In the Only Fools and Horses scene, and his girlfriend was the barmaid in Only Fools as well. Same production company went on to create Radio Phoenix couple of years later with 2 of the actors form this show.

Thanks for the upload. Loved this.

Excellent! Been looking for this for 30-odd years.

Made by the brilliant regional ITV contractor, Southern Television, and broadcast, if memory serves, in 1981. Great programme, and really glad that so many people remember it

Thought I would watch it all again. I remember leaving school in '81 in Basingstoke. So looking forward to the last day and when it came, I thought feck! What am I gonna do now. Work was out of the question, but 100 quid a week in todays money for some kid that still lived rent free with his parents was ok! Happy days. Where did all that time go!

Great to see this again many thanks,

Superb mate thanks for uploading !!

Many thanks for the upload Paul. Great job. Nice trip down memory lane - 35 years now.

I was searching for this for years. Watched it when I was in my early teens and loved it. Dreamt about it the other night and with Google and KZfaq managed to find your upload. Thanks.

Filmed in my old school, in the mid 80's!

I’ve thought of this often over the yrs loved it when it was on, I was a little skinhead at the time, brought back loads of memories,thanks for uploading.

Great series. Two future The Bill stars. Eric Richard, and Andrew Paul.

I've been looking for as long as youtube exists to see this series again. I saw it in the early eighties in the Netherlands and I didn't know how it was called in English. The title song always stayed in my head and a year ago I rediscovered it. Thanx for posting!!

Superb! Very fond memories of this

Thanks for posting some of the series, it takes me back, love the theme music.

As a Dutch kid at about the age of 20 I saw this series in the early 80ies. I loved it! The title song always echoed a bit in my head. Took me long to find this series. In Dutch it had a different name than the English gave.

Proper bunch of headbangers this mob! Great upload, matey. Ta!!

Oh this brings back memories from my teens, great to see it again

Finally!!! Nice one.

Staying in, watching going out.

Staying in, watching going out. Funny that.

Memories!

I remember this very well, i used to watch all of these on tv around 1980 or 81 when i was 20 years old.

For those that don't know it was filmed in and around Portsmouth.

I remember watching this in the "t v. room" in the youth club as a 14 year old, There was another similar series on itv, I think it was set in london, maybe on a Sunday night. not sure though.

A Great series starring Amongst others A Paul,Ray Burdis and Linda Robson.

For some reason it lost its air of mystique when they repeated it on ch4 , You had to have watched it first time around , last thing at night on ITV before the closedown , then school next morning!

I remember watching this when I was pregnant with my son.

Fantastic, I Remember Watching This On "Live" Television In The Late Seventies/Early Eighties, Really Trippy. Cheers For The Upload, "Utterly Remarkable" ACTUALLY Extraordinaire !! C'est Bonne/Daisuki DESU !!!

"alright, Bri"! ... "oh piss off, Bri". Fuckin' cracking me up.

Reminds me of where I used to live. So many houses boarded up, the window cleaner had a sander...

I always remembered this programme for some reason, just turned 50 (ffs!) ... Prob because of the grown up Grange Hill 😂 cheese grater...

😂 the good old days when every actor came from The Bill or Grange Hill..

So glad I found this. Fucking loved it. We were the same age and it’s a perfect depiction of the times.

I'd be interested in knowing why the opening and closing themes and credits were cut off. Music rights issues?

Wow don’t remember this, two ex cast members from The Bill, going to have to watch this 👍👍👍

funny how many of the cast ended up in the bill.lol

It was on after 11pm usually Was on the dole at the time or a YOPPER.

brilliant series, have you got the rest of them, have,nt seen them for 30 yrs

"Bunny" from Extra's. "Yuma yuma yuma".....lol.

Don't remember this but looks like something i would have watched

Proper flash back. Cheese grater and the gang 🤭

Is that two characters from 'The Bill' in the opening scene... Cryer and Garfield (with hair)?

Please upload all the episodes.

Think it was on Friday nights at 1030

Before The Bill the actor who played Sargent Bob Cryer

Opening scene I thought i was watching 'The Bill" from an alternative reality dimension.

Yes!111

Fat Alan from love honour and obey 👍👍👍

I used to fancy the dark haired girl who smoked a lot lol ;) I was only 16 in "81" to be fair 🤣🤣

It's the cast of The Bill

Sgt Cryer

Isn’t that Linda robson ?

Who's the band?!
