- Press Gang is a British children's television comedy-drama consisting of forty-three episodes across five series that were broadcast from 1989 to 1993. It was produced by Richmond Film & Television for Central, and screened on the ITV network in its regular weekday afternoon children's strand, Children's ITV. Aimed at older children and teenagers, the programme was based around the activities of a children's newspaper, the Junior Gazette, produced by pupils from the local comprehensive school. In later series it was depicted as a commercial venture. The show interspersed comedic elements with the dramatic. As well as addressing interpersonal relationships (particularly in the Lynda-Spike story arc), the show tackled issues such as solvent abuse, child abuse and firearms control. Written by ex-teacher Steven Moffat, over half of the episodes were directed by Bob Spiers, a noted British comedy director who had previously worked on classics such as Fawlty Towers. Critical reception was very positive, particularly for the quality of its writing, and has attracted a cult following with a wide age range.
- Reportergänget är en brittisk TV-serie som gick 1989-1994 och handlade om ett gäng ungdomar som gör en tidning. Redaktör var den intelligenta men manipulativa Lynda Day, som ägnade en stor del av serien åt ett trassligt förhållande med Spike Thomson. Spike hamnade på tidningen som en sista chans istället för att bli relegerad från skolan, men hade givetvis ett hjärta av guld och blev en riktigt bra reporter med tiden. Andra karaktärer i serien var den pengagalna Colin, supersnällisen Kenny, den försynta Sarah, Frazz som verkade korkad men inte alltid var det, två mer eller mindre utbytbara blondiner vid namn Julie och Sam (de var aldrig med i serien samtidigt), samt Tiddler som var yngre än de andra och ofta klagade på att de inte tog henne på allvar. De vuxna reportrarna Matt Kerr och Chrissie Stuart dök också upp ibland, liksom gymnasieskolans rektor Mr. Winters och dess engelsklärare Mr. Sullivan. Serien vann en BAFTA för avsnittet "Something Terrible" och blev även nominerad för avsnittet "The Last Word". Julia Sawalha, som spelade Lynda, har senare bland annat blivit känd som Saffron i Helt hysteriskt (engelska Absolutely Fabulous). Spike spelades av Dexter Fletcher. Seriens skapare Steven Moffat har gått vidare till att skriva TV-serien Coupling samt vissa avsnitt av nya Doctor Who, bland annat det prisbelönta "The Empty Child". Reportergänget har gått i flera omgångar på svensk TV, senast på Barnkanalen.
