Time's up for CBBC's Grange Hill

Grange Hill, one of the longest-running kids' programmes ever, is ending.

The show, which has been on BBC1 for a whopping 30 years, will finish after the 31st series later this year.

Grange Hill is seen as an important kids' programme because it's dealt with some really serious issues over the years - like drugs, Aids and bullying.

A CBBC spokesperson said: "The lives of children have changed a great deal since Grange Hill began and we owe it to our audience to reflect this."

"Of course it's sad to say goodbye to such a much loved institution."

Grange Hill was created by a man called Phil Redmond who also made shows like Hollyoaks and Brookside - a soap which used to be on Channel 4.

It hit the headlines in 1986 when one of the show's main characters, called Zammo, took drugs and was seriously ill. It was the first time a children's programme in the UK had shown such a hard-hitting issue.
