mackem 26,173 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 supergran. I saw some of the supergran locations as a kid,it was filmed at beamish,tynemouth and whitley bay,i always kept an eye out for scunner campbell as a kid,and grannies flying on bikes.The local coppers used to look atbus walking around with our airguns out of the bags shooting starlings in the village for ferret food and just tell us to put them back in the sleeve,nowadays the media would descend upon us like a ton of bricks and make out as if it was a re-enactment of hungerford,times change and not always for the better. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good point n wasn't perfect times but lookin back could still look on it as the great befitting to the title of Great Britain good memeries in any case as I'm sure pre 70s n 80s were good for others, still a good country mind but not what it was for kids now n not sure about the great..
