Byker Grove is an alternative place to be. When Julie's family moved from London to Newcastle she called the city a horrible dump, but then she met the crowd at Byker Grove.
The kids from the Grove set off for a day's skateboarding, while Donna is becoming insufferable about her forthcoming appearance as a model in a charity fashion show, but all does not go according to plan.
When the kids set off on their long-awaited camping trip, the delights of the open-air and life under canvas seem to make the older kids distinctly frisky.
A hard choice faces Julie who has to come to terms with the fact that her parents are breaking up; Winston is faced with the imminent arrival in Newcastle of Kelly, the girl he met at camp.
