    2. Zammo link send redefine [​IMG] 1 thumb down [​IMG] Quite simply, the essence of ace. Bearing an uncanny likeness to Kojak, Zammo will shoot down your spaktarded opinions, scorn your Non-Dananian Eye, and invigorate a tedious day all before you've even thought of achieving b0nar.

    Zammo and Bunneh are together the kindred spirits that-.. meh, they'll own you. Spakn00b.

    You won't know it, but when Zammo hits, you're already dead. >_>

    Erm... yeah, he's generally ace.

    Drugs help out when life doesn't hold up its end of the bargain.

    [​IMG] [​IMG] School Days: 1982-1983

    Zammo was the new school hero, the boy everyone wanted to be. His early years at Grange Hill were a riotous mischief-fest with stooge Jonah and others. A cheeky chappie, Zammo never took school life seriously but was sensitive to others' feelings. He would stick up for Roland when he was getting a hard time. But the later years would be more difficult for Zammo. The spectre of Bronson and the Jackie-Banksie love triangle became too much to bear and Zammo descended into heroin addiction. With the support of family and friends Zammo pulled back from the brink and returned to the sixth form looking to the future.

    SO WHY THE HEROIN? Not sure really; Zammo was easily led and I suppose just fell in with the wrong crowd. But he was soon back on his feet.

    FAMILY: Zammo lived with his mum, a worker at the local factory. She was also on the PTA.

    [​IMG] ZAMMO'S SCHOOL REPORT [​IMG] Series 5: Zammo and Jonah set of a stink bomb in class; everyone is evacuated to the canteen. At Chessington Zoo, Zammo's bag is thrown in the seal's den and the keeper catches them trying to retrieve it. Series 6: Zammo thinks flexitime should be introduced at school. A referendum is held, but the two spoil the vote and lose favour with classmates.

    Series 7: Zammo is going out with Jackie Wright, from rival school Brookdale. He has to endure the wrath of Gluxo Remington - Brookdale's hardman. Zammo looks on aghast as Jeremy Irvine drowns in the school pool.

    Series 8: Zammo has a rival for Jackie's affections in Steven Banks. Zammo witnesses Calley's confrontation with her birth mum and thinks it's an abduction attempt.

    Series 9: Zammo is forever short of money and in debt to his classmates. His behaviour becomes ever more erratic and Roland discovers he's on heroin. There's a confrontation with Jackie and the police at school; Zammo suffers bad withdrawals and goes into rehab.

    Series 10: Zammo returns to school. He struggles with his addiction and buys some more drugs - but doesn't take them. Zammo and Jackie get engaged; staff and pupils are shocked but they decide to defer the wedding.

    [​IMG]JUST SAY NO! REMAINS SYNONYMOUS
    Without doubt Grange Hill's most controversial storyline was that of Zammo's heroin addiction in 1986. When plans for a "junkie" character were first announced there was tabloid outrage. But Zammo's plight did much to raise awareness of drug-related issues. The cast released a single, "Just Say No", in April 1986 and it peaked at No. 5 in the charts, raising over £103,000 for the Standing Conference on Drug Abuse (SCODA). The Grange Hill cast went on an anti-drugs tour across the country and Lee MacDonald, who played Zammo, found himself particularly in demand. But the icing on the cake was an invitation to the White House by America's First Lady, Nancy Reagan, in May 1986. Mrs Reagan was involved in the American "Just Say No" project and had heard about Grange Hill's campaign. So the cast and crew jetted off to Washington, along with producer Ronald Smedley.

    Sadly the credibility of "Just Say No!" has been tarnished in recent years. Erkan Mustafa, who played Roland Browning, claimed the cast were on drugs themselves. Drugs would continue to feature in less high-profile storylines; in 1995 Anna Wright was selling them for her brother Gordon and four years later, Sarah-Jane Webster found herself addicted to temazepam.

    No he is not dead.. After his own drug problems [in real life].. He cleaned himself up and became a locksmith.. Taking in the odd appearance in the bill and other 'memorable roles' such as that.
