00:00It was one of the most popular teen dramas of the 90s, getting 11 million viewers at its peak.

00:06Setting working class Newcastle, as our Lindsay said.

00:11What was that?

00:13Not Newcastle, it's Newcastle.

00:15What did I say?

00:16It's Newcastle.

00:17What did I say?

00:18Newcastle.

00:21Anyway, Viker Grove wasn't afraid to tell hard-hitting stories.

00:27Now the show is set to return, and two iconic characters are here to tell us everything they know.

00:33Before they join us, let's see Lindy Ann Barass and Billy Fane, that's Spuggy and Jeff, in action.

00:40Isn't that your patch?

00:42What do you think?

00:43Yeah, yeah.

00:44What?

00:46Stop.

00:50Stop.

00:52Stop.

00:57Stop.

01:12Stop.

01:13Check.

01:13All right, man.

01:15Joe.

01:17You can't see, can he?

01:18Có una ambrace, don't you?

01:19You can't see, man!

01:21Oh, that's taken us right back now.

01:46I was actually at work and then my son texted us,

01:58Mum, have you seen the news?

02:00And I was like, no.

02:01And then my phone just absolutely blew up.

02:03And what about you, Billy?

02:05I read the newspaper, yeah.

02:07I saw it in there.

02:09And I was walking in the supermarkets and things

02:15and people say, oh, Billy, are you coming back one day?

02:19Are you maybe not as excited, though?

02:21Because didn't you die?

02:22Yes, he's dead, isn't he?

02:25Yeah, but I worked as a stand-up

02:28on the Northern Clubs for many years

02:30and it's not the first time I've died.

02:37Oh, my God.

02:38That one was just painful.

02:42How do you feel about it coming back?

02:44It's exciting, isn't it?

02:45It's very reminiscent

02:47and it's very bizarre walking down the street again

02:51and I think it's the plain red hair

02:52and, oh, my God, it's fucking, like, a bit old now.

02:55Isn't it funny that people still remember?

02:59I mean, you were asking me questions about Biker Grove.

03:02It was so long ago.

03:04I mean, I was about 24, 25

03:06and there was Jill Halfpenny and Ant and Dec and Lindy Ann

03:09and, I mean, I used to help them do the homework

03:11and that's why Ant and Dec said they had to stay entertained

03:13because they failed all their exams.

03:16I asked you, I said, what happened to your character?

03:18You didn't know.

03:19I've got no idea.

03:21I've got no idea.

03:22I think I was in it for about seven or eight episodes

03:24and, God, I mean, the North East was buoyant then

03:26because Spender was happening as well, was doing Spender.

03:29But we did have, we had a lot of fun and I think it,

03:32it's reminded us as well, certainly me,

03:35of the demise of the youth club

03:37and how important to a community listen to me talk like,

03:41Gazek, I'm good at you.

03:44It's, it's, we have no youth clubs anymore.

03:46None at all.

03:47There's nowhere for young kids to go to sort of congregate

03:50without getting into bother.

03:52And have you, have you stayed in touch with Ant and Dec?

03:54Yeah, I've supported, I've supported Declan since, yeah.

03:57He said, hello, everybody, I want a nice picture to send.

04:00Aww.

04:01Hi guys.

04:02Can you imagine that it was, it was set around a youth club?

04:06I don't know what they would do this time,

04:07but they've both said that, the lads, that they want to sort of address

04:11teen, teenage issues today.

04:13Yeah.

04:13And that's a very sort of different thing, isn't it?

04:15You've got a, a teenage daughter.

04:16Yeah, I mean, my son, he's coming up 22, so it's not as,

04:20it's a lot different for him, but for Scarlett, she's 16,

04:24and their phone just is TikTok, Snapchat, Insta.

04:28Yeah.

04:28And we didn't have any of that, and I, and I think it's a big,

04:32big change to the 1990s to the noughties now, for sure.

04:36Absolutely.

04:37I mean, it was just, you know, it's the fact that people still,

04:40people still remember it.

04:41If they did ask you to go back, because I know you've,

04:44you're doing other things now, you'd still do a bit of,

04:47you've got your own company and everything.

04:49But if they did ask you to go back, and if they did do a

04:52Bobby Ewing on you, would you come out the shower for one?

05:00I think I'd have to come out on these, isn't it?

05:02Free interior, free interior.

05:05You would do.

05:06I would love it.

05:07Oh, yeah, absolutely, yeah, without a shower or without.

05:10It's something that I love to do.

05:11Billy, I wanted to ask you, well, both of you, actually,

05:14but Billy, because obviously, Sid, you both made the decision

05:17to leave showbiz, and you've sort of got proper jobs now,

05:21haven't you?

05:21Not like us a lot.

05:23Billy, tell us what you did after the show.

05:25Well, I went to, I went back to teaching.
