The 'creator of Brookside' has taken it upon himself to try and bully the fansite of one the BBC's best loved kid's shows, 26 years' old Grange Hill, out of existence. I loved Grange Hill as a child, and it's great to see that it's still adored.

Apparently the site had a fine and harmonious relationship with the BBC, but since "Phil Redmond's Mersey TV" took over production of the show, this been replaced with the usual load of cease and desist crap, perfectly aimed to alienate the show's biggest fans. I suspect it's got something to do with the fact that another Redmond company, WankerMedia has recently produced another Grange Hill site, and hates the fact that the fansite is miles better. Or perhaps it's because the fansite doesn't mention 'Phil Redmond' on every single page, I can't tell.

(and I'm not linking to it. They won't be gettting any of my google juice).

Hopefully someone from Auntie can tell 'our Phil' to "leave 'im, Zammo, 'e's not werf it".

In the meantime, there's more of the story here, including details of how to make a fuss.
