Set in the 16th Century, John Marsh joins a ship bound for the Spanish Main to win all the gold in the world.

The Grange Hill pupils are determined to enjoy the school camping holiday their way. In the end it didn't work out as anybody had planned - even the staff.

Matters were going from bad to worse towards the end of term at Grange Hill, especially for Tucker Jenkin. Here he was, for instance, being given a last warning by the Head: ‘Grange Hill and you do not suit one another at the moment. One has to change.’ Any more trouble and Tucker would be for the chop, a prospect that delighted eavesdropper Doyle. But even when Tucker tried to toe the line, things didn’t go right. He thought Penny’s fundraising plan of a sponsored walk was a big yawn and suggested instead a sponsored silence. But Trisha countered with a sponsored slurp-in and everything slid from the sublime to the ridiculous. What started as a positive move by the kids to stop guerilla warfare with Brookdale was now leading them straight for disaster in their own camp. Based on the famous TV series. 

Problems face Grange Hill when the school is threatened with closure by the Education Authority.
