Remember when Grange Hill went to the Isle Of Wight? Or the escaped puma? Here are 12 memorable school trip episodes from the early years...
With just over thirty years worth of screen time, there are plenty of memorable moments in Grange Hill. From its inception in February 1978 the programme proved both entertaining and controversial. It tackled many difficult subjects head-on: bullying, vandalism, racism, censorship, shop-lifting, school uniform protest, teenage pregnancy and - most famously of all - drugs. However, every now and again it would attempt to give viewers a break from the everyday and head off on a day trip or weekend excursion.

★★★☆☆ Jessabelle (2014) makes a good case that horror movies can succeed without - or rather in spite of - the requirement to scare the viewer. Is that a paradox, a disappointment or even a perversion? Ghost train thrills have their place, but the genre will always be at its best when an air of beguiling strangeness and the thematic core trump the demands for what is often a cheap and quick fright. On this occasion plot revelations and twists in carry historical poignancy in a manner that far outweighs the spooky context. The film comes off like a nightmare version of Who Do You Think You Are? Jessabelle (Sarah Snook) is injured in a car crash and returns to her childhood home in South Louisiana. It is far from a happy place.
