Bullet Baxter was a very realistic interpretation of a 70s P.E. Teacher. One of my favourite Grange Hill characters too.

Mr Baxter was one of the better Teachers that School had....he was firm but fair, and the kids genuinely liked him....unlike the feelings that had for Mr Bronson, Mr Hicks, Mr Parrott and Mr Smart to name a few....

Series 2 in 1979. It serves Mr Geoff Bullet Baxter right that he was tackled by Alan Humphries. Mr Baxter honestly has done 8 years of Grange Hill until series 9 in 1986. He was a strict teacher.

We had to do rugby union at school for 5 years and it was a load of crap. By the fifth year, those who didn't want to play just refused and the games teachers gave up and made us sit in the changing rooms. Good excuse to have a sly smoke and stick on some music.

If anyone was going to tackle Mr Baxter in the way you're meant to in a proper game of rugby Alan was the guy to do it. It's quite funny seeing a big grown man bulldozing his way past Tucker and the other kids until he meets Alan who's capable of meeting him on his own physical sporting terms .

I've just watched this for the 2nd time and it reminds me of a couple of bits of info I ought to mention, should anyone be interested. There are a couple of musical items I discovered recently that are related to GH. First, there's a nice, spritely cover of the GH 1990s theme tune by a group called UNIT. It's on You Tube although I've forgotten the link to it. This same band also recorded a piece called Water...originally by Peter Morton (aka Wayne Sutcliffe). This is also on You Tube. One of the members of the group also published a book about (or mainly about) Grange Hill called Not In Front Of The Children which I purchased from Lulu but I think it's in certain stores as well. However, this isn't the main reason I'm writing this comment. The main reason is because I want to alert people to a brilliant series of short films Peter Morton has done (with Aiden David, Marcel McCalla and other ex-Grange Hill alumni), all of which are on You Tube. Blood Bird Thief Of Vocal Vision Just A Boy The Walk Of Shame Keane I found them all on Peter's own You Tube channel. Each of them is radically different in tone, genre and style.
