I'm sure the books mentioned that Sam was Julie's replacement "in more
ways than one", and said that Julie had left to study at art college. I
always thought she went to art school as well, and it's unlikely that
two of us would have the same incorrect assumption.

I don't remember the TV series making any excuse at all for her absence
though.... and an assistant on "Crazy Stuff", or whatever it was called,
doesn't seem like the sort of thing an art student would be likely to go
on to do.

I guess it was something that the books mentioned that was never
followed through in the TV series. Like the fact that Lynda ran a
school newspaper "Norbridge Days" (rather than "Damn!") before being
made editor of the "Junior Gazette".

I know *way* too much about this programme.
