<p dir="auto">Gripper will always be my favourite (Mark Savage is actually doing quite a lot of movie work now)<br />
Having just watched Series 21 for the first time i gotta say Sean Pearce comes in second. He had such a menacing look that he could turn on and off<br />
Booger Benson was cool because you didn't get to see too much of him<br />
Imelda Davis was as nasty as a girl bully could be and she introduced a lot of psychological warfare<br />
Gluxo Remington was a bit naff but had the best name<br />
Mauler Mccaul was always a bit of a bumbling bully, i think after Gripper he was made not too nasty</p>

<p dir="auto">Gripper was probably the most terrifying out of all of them, mean looking toerag, Mark Savage was apparently a nice guy in real life and got so much stick from the public for his role.<br />
Imelda Davis was a close second, but she was hot as well (back in the day, and still is) so if she came at me like she did with Ziggy I probably would have kissed her.<br />
Booga Benson was more like light comedy relief, his accent was too funny to be taken seriously.<br />
Trevor Cleaver would have got battered if he tried to bully anyone at my school, and after his drinking phase he turned out alright, I remember him helping Danny Kendall when he nearly fainted.<br />
Mauler McCall turned out to be okay when he told a girl his name was Francis, quite a good chef if I remember rightly.<br />
Grange Hill's first girl bully was Jackie Heron, she looked 30 at the time, not convincing.<br />
Not forgetting Michael Doyle, too small to be a real threat but had a nasty streak about him. I think Tucker bashed him up a few times.</p>

<p dir="auto">Harcourt was good for a short run, but Doyle was the main bully back then.<br />
Bullies came and went during the early years(78-81). Then in the 1981 series we had Doyle, who was on his way out. Booga Benson and a younger Stebson.<br />
Had Benson stuck around, I think he would've left a bigger mark than Gripper. But, Gripper was the one the writers wanted to develop and that they did. By 1983, he was definitely the scariest of the lot.</p>

<p dir="auto">No sorry, Mick Daniels was'nt that convincing I thought!<br />
Mainly it was the really good character of Barry Timpson that "held" the Cigarette Group together well I am inclined to say/think.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hi Prem Raj,<br />
Long time no speak - hope your ok? True what you say about Trev bullying Vince about his tie being bullying in the extreme, but bhoy man was it a class line and class way to go about it too!! I bet if Vince had worn it thin it might of made Trev think twice! Pootr Vince though  then he got his next new tie cut by Imelda!</p>

<p dir="auto">I haven't gotten that far yet, but so far I have to agree that Booger and Gripper are very good. Quite well written and acted. I hate them both. <img src="https://filmglance.com/discuss/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f609.png?v=8570fb93240" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--wink" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=";)" alt="😉" /><br />
Doyle started out to be a good one, but he's more of a git than anything else, and I was glad to see that Tommy Watson saw through him and sided up with Tucker.</p>
