The popular 90’s TV series “Byker Grove” presented by Ant and Dec is coming back! Now, you can stream all its episodes on both ITV and STV.
From 1989 to 2006, the beloved children’s series, chronicling the highs and lows of a Newcastle youth club’s members, was broadcast on BBC One. This show turned into essential viewing for kids growing up in the ’90s across the globe.
As a dedicated movie enthusiast, I can’t help but appreciate the groundbreaking impact of Byker Grove. It fearlessly tackled challenging narratives intended for a youthful audience, delving into themes like drug addiction, abuse, and homophobia – topics that were rarely addressed in those days due to their sensitivity.
Byker Grove significantly propelled the careers of Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, known as PJ and Duncan on the show from 1989 to 1992. Afterward, they embarked upon a musical journey under their assumed personas.
While they were on Byker Grove, this duo found themselves at the heart of numerous storylines. Ant’s character, PJ, suffered a significant event when he disregarded safety rules during a paintball game and removed his goggles, resulting in him getting hit in the eye by two girls who had uncovered his infidelity.
The pair would later ditch PJ and Duncan to start their now legendary presenting career together.
As a passionate film enthusiast, I’m thrilled about the latest collaboration between ITVX and STV with Ant & Dec’s production house, Mitre Studios. This partnership gives them the rights to revive the iconic series, Byker Grove. Now, a new wave of viewers gets the chance to immerse themselves in the drama that first captivated us back then!
As a cinephile eagerly anticipating the latest releases, I’m thrilled to share that this captivating series is already accessible on STV Player. For those who prefer streaming, mark your calendars as it will grace ITVX later in the year. Enjoy the cinematic journey!
Richard Williams, the Managing Director for Audience: Video & Technology at STV, expressed that just as it seemed the ’90s revival may be waning, they’ve unexpectedly resurrected one of the defining television series from that era.
Byker Grove played a significant role in numerous British childhoods, and it’s joyful to know that the original viewers, now somewhat older, can revisit all the nostalgic events on STV Player. For those Gen Z viewers curious about who kick-started the trend of baggy trousers, Byker Grove is the place to find out!
Byker Grove will be available to watch later this year on ITVX and STV.
