Byker Grove is a British teen drama and coming of age
television series which aired between 1989 and 2006 as part of CBBC on BBC One.
Set and filmed in Benwell, Newcastle upon Tyne, it was created by writer Adele Rose and producer Andrea Wonfor. It was aimed at an older teenager and young adult audience, tackling serious and sometimes controversial storylines. The show is notable for depicting the first gay kiss on children’s television, as well as its breach of the fourth wall in the final series.
The show is set to be rebooted in 2024, produced by former cast members Ant & Dec (who played PJ & Duncan in the original programme).
