Well where do I start ? This is a true forgotten gem that everyone should see.
Set in the mid 70,s Dudley,West Midlands to a background of Glam Rock, it tells the story of The Grimley family and Gorden in particular and his attempt to deal with his growing love for his English teacher played by Amanda Holden.
He arch enemy is Doug Digby the PC teacher played brilliantly by Brian Conley.This leads to some great scenes and you really feel for Gorden.
What sets this apart is the supporting cast and how their involvement makes the whole thing click especially Gordons mum and her 'relationship' with Mr Tiley next door.I wont spoil it but its inspired writing.
The supporting cast includes Nigel Planner and Jan Ravens as Gordons parents and a wonderful cameo from Noddy Holder as Neville Holder the music teacher.I loved his acoustic sets in the school singing some of his Slade hits - magical.
In fact the whole soundtrack really completes each episode.Every song really suits every scene.
The biggest question is why this has not been released on DVD :( 9 out of 10.
