Graham's Gang is a British children's comedy first broadcast by the BBC in 1977 and 1979.
The gang consisted of five boys - Graham, William, Lux, Robert and Keith - and one girl, Mildred. Plots often revolved around the boys trying to exclude Mildred, who would often use her influential family to force herself back into the gang. Graham's leadership of the gang was constantly threatened by William, whereas Robert and Keith were always on the verge of fighting. Lux provided comic relief because he was rather slow on the uptake.
The show was filmed at Leigh Park and Havant, Hampshire.
