Iconic children’s TV show Grange Hill is set to make an appearance on the new series of Ashes To Ashes.

The Sun reports that legendary headmistress Mrs McClusky is seen teaching Alex Drake’s (Keeley Hawes) daughter Molly on the first episode of the show.

Alex is in 1982 and sees Molly on the TV, with Mrs McClusky saying to her: “We want to know why you locked yourself in the toilet.”

Molly responds: “Ticker said my mum was dead. We had a fight. Miss Mooney said I was to come and see you. I didn’t want to.”

The headteacher replied: “When a teacher says something to you, you have to do it. Do you understand?”

At the end of the exchange, Molly says “it’s my mum, there’s news…”

:: The second series of Ashes To Ashes starts later this month on BBC One.
