Welcome to the 93rd episode of Yesterday's Capers. Every week, Abdullah Moallim will be reviewing and looking back at some of the most memorable and well known tv shows and cartoons from the past. Every week Abdullah and a contributor will compare two different shows, and put them head to head, as well as having an in-depth discussion about a specific show.
For the next few episodes we're going back to school as we look back some of the most iconic and memorable school shows that the world has to offer.
This week we're looking back at high school tv shows not set in the classroom as we talk Fifteen, starring a young Ryan Reynolds. And we put it up against Fame. The television show based on the very successful dance movie released in 1980.
And we take a special look at the iconic, British classic Byker Grove. The show that brought Newcastle to the forefront of British Children's television. We talk about episodes we watched, classic moments and the major storylines that defined this brilliant show.
We also talk about the stars who emerged from Byker Grove and talk about the successes they had after Byker Grove. That includes actress Jill Halfpenny, Donna Air, former CBBC presenter Andrew Hayden-Smith and Emmerdale actors Dale Meeks, Charlie Hardwick, Chelsea Halfpenny, Laura Norton and Victoria Hawkins. And of course Ant & Dec aka PJ and Duncan.
