It was the TV show that many of us grew up with and Byker Grove is about to make a shock return to TV, over 30 years on from its debut.
With one of the most iconic theme tunes of its era and storylines that hooked millions of young viewers and their parents at teatime for close to two decades, Byker Grove is one of the most successful children's TV shows of all time and gave a first slice of TV fame to household names like Ant and Dec, Jill Halfpenny, Denise Welch, Charlie Hunnam and Donna Air.
Other stars who were in the Byker Grove cast included North East legend Billy Fane, who played Grove leader Geoff, Jill's cousin Chelsea and Lyndyann Barrass, who was one of the most recognisable faces on TV in the early 90s, thanks to playing Spuggy.
