WANTED: A
chance
for youth to channel its
energy productively.
RESULT? The Junior
Gazette.
Press Gang
is the story of a teen
newspaper and the staff
who run it. Sounds
innocent enough, right?
This BAFTA award winning
series features dragons,
cruelty to teachers,
exam pressure, solvent
abuse, bathwater as a
beverage, shotgun
suicide and giant pink
bunnies
–
all in the first 12
episodes. With the
tear-jerking drama of
The Rest of My Life,
the classic farce of
In The Picture, the
heart-stopping tension
of A Quarter To
Midnight and the
nerve-jangling tease of
There Are Crocodiles,
Press Gang fully
deserves its reputation
as one of the finest
Children’s
dramas ever made.
Over the next 12 months,
SM.net will be
celebrating 20 years of
The Junior Gazette
by revisiting every
episode of Press Gang.
We will also be posting
character profiles and
exclusive new content,
including a special 20th
anniversary interview
with Steven Moffat. |
