OK so we all know that Miss Popoff went on to appear in Coronation Sleep.

But whatever happened to Timothy Claypole?

The poor actor that played Timothy Claypole (Michael Staniforth) died of Aids in 1987. So it says on the IMDB:

The bloke who played Harold Meacher is dead too.

This is all getting very glum. I dread to think who I might find dead if I look up Grange Hill so I wont bother. I do know that Zammo runs a locksmith company and Rowland Browning (as in " I only want to help you Rowland") runs a record shop in Brixton.....or is it Balham.

Right thats quite enough childhood heros confined to Davey Jones locker. I am off to bed before someone tells me Hartley Hare is dead.

Whatever happened to the 'actors' in this pile of shite? Now Worzal Gummidge.......THAT was a show that 'had it all' especially 'miss prim and proper' Aunt Sally and 'Jack-the-Lad' Worzal. When I see my John Lindsay loops with Miss prim and proper ladies and Cor! Im a 'Jack-the-Lad' blokes, I really do wonder if the makers of this TV show saw them too and molded the characters from the loops.........just a thought!

the guy that played Roland works in a record shop in Ilford, Essex, I remember being in there a few years ago, and these kids kept coming in and going "Ro-land" etc, he was not amused, I had to walk out, through fear of pissing myself laughing

I'd imagine he became one of the 'luvvie' set. Certainly had that feel. More important what happened to Dapple? Was that the horse's name? Not sure now
