Grange Hill - Series 1, Episode 8 - 29 March 1978

While chasing after Benny, Doyle knocks over some paint and gets into trouble. Trisha Yates stripy socks earn her a detention. Doyles eyes light up when he sees valuable flintlocks on loan to the school: he and his friend grab one of them, brushing past Tucker as they escape. With Form One Alpha under suspicion the head suspends the impending school festival unless the valuable object is returned. Tucker tells Doyle he knows it was him, but Doyle wont admit the truth – Trisha overhears and gets Mary and Ann involved, but the girls arent entirely sure Tucker is trustworthy. Doyle is sent to Coventry: it is made clear that no-one wants to know him, and before long hes fighting Tucker. After a week, it is clear more action is needed – it is suggested that an amnesty is set up, allowing an anonymous return of the pistol. Ann tells Mr. Mitchell and the Head of First Year, Mrs Monroe, and the Headmaster agrees. Doyle gets beaten up by Tucker, Benny and Alan.
