The Fenn Street Gang

“The Fenn Street Gang” – 1971


This was the follow up to the huge comedy hit series Please Sir that followed a class of kids (big kids) getting into all sorts of trouble with their teacher Mr Hedges. After they all left school the demand for the public to see more was so powerful that London Weekend Television brought them all back in the Fenn Street Gang.
The very sexy Carol Hawkins also starred in 1972 in a Carry On Film and the Carry On TV series.

70’s Televison

What an amazing piece of kit our telly was. Can you imagine having to change channel by turning a knob to tune in BBC2 and forever getting up to realign the aerial and contrast, and the only way to stop the picture from rolling was to give the set a good thump? Do you remember that we only have three channels to watch? Thinking about it, the conversation was better at school next day as everyone seemed to be watching the same thing unlike nowadays where we have too much choice. Aye, the quality of programmes seem to have dwindled when you think back to what we had in our days.
