The series followed the trials of ''The Junior Gazette'', a newspaper founded to keep the 'problem children' from the local comprehensive school out of trouble. The paper in fact usually provided them with further opportunities to get ''into'' trouble as they investigated stories ranging from glue-sniffing by local kids to leaking sewage at the school headmaster's house, and eventually 'graduated' to running the paper as a professional youth newspaper.

* BolivianArmyEnding: The series finale "There Are Crocodiles" sees Lynda [[spoiler:become trapped in the office while a fire rages out of control, destroying everything. Spike then sees what he assumes to be her ghost appearing to him in a dream and the two have a brief heart-to-heart before Lynda switches on the light, revealing herself to be apparently alive and relatively unharmed despite Spike repeatedly asserting that she couldn't possibly have made it out and Lynda not saying how she apparently did. Spike asks if he'll wake up if he tries to kiss her and she tells him it's his choice whether to see if he's dreaming or not. The show officially ends ''just before'' they kiss, leaving Lynda's actual fate uncertain[[note]]Though writer Steven Moffatt has since asserted that as far as he's concerned, she survived the fire[[/note]].]]

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The show started filming in the late 80s. The main cast use typewriters like it's a normal thing and it's considered a huge deal when they get a very basic desktop computer. The opening titles utilize synth music with the cast doing the classic smile at the camera freeze frame with their name underneath. The clothes, sets and most of the hairstyles are very indicative of the time it was filmed, even the extras wear brighter colours.

** From "Monday-Tuesday", there's the joint message that being nice and actually working hard is probably going to be a much more effective way of getting what you want out of life rather than trying to bully, blackmail and force people into doing things your way. Also, you never know what is going on in someone's private life or what kind of emotional state they're currently in so you should always think before you speak.
** On a similar note from "There Are Crocodiles", there is only a limited amount of responsibility you can put on other people's shoulders for the choices and mistakes you make yourself, especially when you had already been warned about the potential consequences.
