My tribute to the amazing Anna Scher

Hi guys, I hope you’re all doing well. Today, I wanted to talk about something different. So, as some of you might know, Anna Scher sadly passed a few days ago. I mentioned her on a post a little while ago. I think it’s absolutely heartbreaking, a great shame. She taught loads of youngsters about drama and acting. Brought so much light and hope to many youngsters at the time. She helped loads of young kids, teenagers and created loads of great talents and stars in the process. I never met her because I never had the chance to, but my dad did, he had her for a teacher for a little while. Nothing but lovely and nice remarks and nice things to say about her, such a lovely person with a big heart and helped kids, taught them and made their lives so much easier and fun just by being amazing and being the amazing person she is. I’m kind of sad I never had her as my drama teacher but that’s okay, I guess. I stopped going to Anna Shears a little while ago. There was nothing bad going on, nothing nasty, nothing that would put me off of going there, but the reason I stopped going was because there was a rule where if you had just left school then you can’t go and if you still wanted to stay then you would have to join the adults sessions and I didn’t want to do that, so I just stopped going all together. Which is absolutely fine, I had a great time, I had some great memories and I’m just proud that I went to Anna Shears because it’s a really iconic drama school and so many of my favourite actors and actresses used to go there.

In my other post, I was talking about Grange Hill and how much I adore this TV show, I think I would like to talk about it a bit more since I feel like it just wasn’t enough, words can not explain how much I love this show. These last few months, weeks, I’ve been watching lots of Grange Hill, even more than I used to. I just love it so much. I have this thing where every night, before I go to bed, I have to watch at least one or two episodes of Grange Hill. Grange Hill was so ground breaking at the time, it really highlighted what kids went through in school in those days. I think a lot of kids nowadays would watch it and go ” Oh yeah, but it’s so droll and depressing” but I just think ” Oh okay, that’s what life was like back then, it’s real, it’s not fabricated”. I’m just obsessed with Grange Hill. I’m just coming to the end of series 3 at the moment, I’m going to start watching series 4 in a little while, it’s just never ending fun, love this show. Great cast, great writing, all the kids are just so amazing in their roles as well as all the teachers. Another thing I love about this show is that it feels like you’re a part of the friendship group and you’re invested in all the drama and it feels like you’re really there. I love the Peter Jenkins, Benny, Alan, Doyle, Martin and Trisha Yates era, I just love watching Tucker and his mates get up to all the chaos, it’s just brilliant. It will forever be one of my all time favourite shows on the telly. I haven’t watched Tucker’s Luck in a while also, so I think it’s time for a re watch. Anna will forever be honoured in all of our hearts. My dad remembers her being so lovely, kind, she had the students best interests at heart and she made learning fun.

I still think it’s an absolute travesty how she was treated. She was treated poorly, they just really treated her like crap at the end of the day. Such a sad ending to her life. I had to do a little tribute just to say how incredible she was, she was responsible for so many great acting talents. I know that I was never in her class but I’m just glad I went there just for that alone. I’ve done my bit, I enjoyed it, I’m going to move on and spend time on my writing.

Anna will missed my many. She was just being herself at the end of the day but she didn’t realise she was creating so many amazing talents who would go on to do great things and who were destined for greatness.

That’s all I have for this post, that was my little tribute to Anna, her death was a great loss to all of us and she will be forever missed. Have a nice day everyone, love you guys. I’m going to go and binge watch Doctor in Charge, Minder, The Professionals, Grange Hill and Monty Python, haha.
