Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted July 16, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 16, 2019 On 4/2/2019 at 8:33 PM, wordsfromlee said: In the final ever episode of Byker Grove, the characters discover that they don't exist and are the creation of unseen characters known as 'The Writers' who plan to conclude the show by demolishing the Grove. However numerous present and former Grove members buy enough time for the characters to re-write the ending so that the club will remain open forever. I can now confirm this is true. As a result of this post, I tracked it down and watched it, and have written about it in some length. Yes, this is a shill, but it seems appropriate, and I did have to sit through an episode of Byker Grove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all filmed in Benwell, which is a rougher area of the city, at the west end, not the east end where Byker is. Also, I worked on an educational youth offending service with Geoff for about a week. Anyway, looking forward to reading this Astro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2019 Yep, and FYR Macedonia is now officially called North Macedonia, as of the end of February this year. Plus, the capital of Kazakhstan has now been renamed from Astana to Nur-Sultan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted August 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2019 Just heard something interesting. Remember Madame Web from the 90's Spider-Man The Animated Series? Turns out she was voice acted by Stan Lee's wife Joanie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
