Review of Press Gang

Press Gang (1989–1993)
10/10
The good guy or the bad boy?.... oh the dilemma!
17 February 2007
For every smart, misunderstood pre-teen girl, Press Gang is the ultimate fantasy. Lynda Day (Julia Sawalha) is the head kicking queen of the Junior Gazette with the enviable problem of being constantly pursued by bad boy Spike (Dexter Fletcher).

Her deputy editor is Kenny (Lee Ross). The nicest, most squeezable back up guy you'd ever like to boss around.

The dilemma for every 12 year old girl is which one is cuter? The good boy or the bad boy?

Get your hands on it, show it to the smartest little girl you know and watch her wrestle with the problem.

The most unheralded role in the series is Sarah (Kelda Holmes). Kelda's beautiful performance of the smart, self obsessed underdog is so fresh and magnetic, you can't help but want her to be your friend.

PS Dexter Fletcher fans definitely need to get Bugsy Molone and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels .
