So Alan arrives at a small village primary school 85 00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.280 in rural Wales. Passionate about teaching, he throws himself into 86 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.319 the new job, but finds himself overshadowed by his charismatic 87 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.319 and much love predecessor. Mister King. 88 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.319 Hmmm, it's a good one. 89 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.520 I I really enjoyed it, Yeah, because what I remember 90 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:04.000 enjoying and hoped it would be as good as I 91 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:04.599 remembered it being. 92 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:05.080 Mm hmm. 93 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:06.479 Yeah. 94 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.960 Yeah. It feels like obviously, you know, as the series 95 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.360 has gone on, you know, we're up to series seven now, 96 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.800 they've done a lot of different things. They've pushed it 97 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.079 in lots of different directions, and in a way, this 98 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.959 one feels a little bit like a return to the 99 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.079 classic kind. 100 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:24.000 Of mean yeah, the sort of folky horror thing. 101 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.439 Yeah. That, plus there's lots of sort of potential ways 102 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.199 it could be going. Yeah, and then you kind of 103 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.319 the way the twist goes in the end, it's just Yeah, 104 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:34.959 typical recent Steve I think. 105 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.360 Yeah, they said that they were worried about how because 106 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.319 they thought, how obvious it looks like, clearly it's Wickerman. 107 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.360 Obviously it's wicker Man. Who's going to think he's anything 108 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.600 other than Wickerman? And they were so scared about putting 109 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.600 on all of the little nods that they normally would do. Yeah, 110 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.079 there are some still in there, but there was a 111 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:52.639 few that they said they cut out because they were 112 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.279 just worried that it was making it too obvious and like, 113 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.480 once you've guessed, it might be that every one of 114 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:02.240 those is just yet another red that confirms what you're thinking. Yes, 115 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:04.600 I like they were worried that they'd said. One of 116 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.279 the few promo pictures they put out was just recent 117 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.439 Steve in costume in the classroom for this episode. Yeah, 118 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.160 and someone had spotted in the background that you can 119 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.560 see one of the kid's paintings with like a skull 120 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.040 in a field or whatever it was, and they were like, oh, 121 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.720 they're going to get it from that immediately. And Reese's 122 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.560 obviously is normal self of well, you've ruined it for 123 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:28.079 yourself if you've looked that hard exactly. Yeah, but there 124 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.600 are still quite a lot of little nuds when you 125 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:31.040 when you. 126 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.079 Know, yeah, yeah, so I Well, it's a common thing 127 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.959 in our podcast that you will always ask me have 128 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:38.680 you seen such and such a film, and I'll be 129 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.319 like no, But I thought i'd get ahead of the 130 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:42.120 game with this one. 131 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.040 Yeah, he did your homework and you I did. 132 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.680 Yeah. Well, one of our listeners, James, was saying to 133 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.000 me that not only is this his favorite episode of 134 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.480 in So number nine, right, but Wickerman is also one 135 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.600 of his favorite films. Okay, so he really strongly recommended 136 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.839 to me that I watch it before we do this episode. 137 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.000 Yeah, I'm assuming the original, not the Nicols. Oh god, yeah, 138 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:01.360 the bees. The Bees. 139 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.560 I know. All I know about the Nicolas Cage one 140 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:06.600 is that I read that it was badly received, so 141 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:07.600 I just didn't bother with that. 142 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.120 Yeah, there's a very terrible scene of him screaming about bees. 143 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:12.199 Is all I know about it. 144 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:16.720 Okay, But yeah, no, I mean, I'm glad I watched it. 145 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:19.720 Very good. I've never seen it, and. 146 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.879 I don't think I don't think it spoiled it going 147 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.839 in knowing what it was going to be about. 148 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:25.879 I think that's the only reason I've not watched it 149 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:27.959 because I'm like, I know it's going to happen, so 150 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:28.600 I'm just hurry. 151 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:35.759 Yeah, I can understand that, but no, I mean, to 152 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:37.279 be fair, I had it on the background while I 153 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.639 was working, so I was sort of, you know, I was, 154 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.639 I was watching it. But if my employers are saying, no, 155 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:47.279 I was, I was working. Definitely, definitely, But yeah, I 156 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:48.040 thought it was very good. 157 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:48.279 It was. 158 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.839 It was weird and good and like, I feel like 159 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.000 I had a lot to say about sort of religion 160 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.720 and and yeah, obviously filters into this episode a lot. 161 00:06:58.319 --> 00:06:59.680 Yeah, oh yeah. 162 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.120 Yeah, So it's definitely given me a new appreciation for 163 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.519 it because obviously, first time I'd watched this episode, not 164 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.720 having seen the film or known anything about it. Really, 165 00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.720 that was my first sort of exposure to that idea 166 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.600 of like I mean, I mean obviously i'd heard of 167 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:17.079 you know, sacrifices and Celtic pagan stuff, but you know, 168 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.399 not having seen the thing that it's clearly referencing. Yeah, 169 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.000 is different a different experience, isn't it Differently? 170 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.360 Yeah, recently I've said it's like it's their favorite. I 171 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:27.920 think I don't know if it's their favorite in this 172 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.800 genre or just their favorite film overall. That's why they 173 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:31.839 wanted to make it so badly. 174 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.879 So I'm guessing you've listened to their podcast for this week. Yes, yes, 175 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.680 I was good. I don't know if they confirmed this 176 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.000 on the podcast, but I was wondering if, with it 177 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.959 being based on the Wickerman, if the character names were 178 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.120 a reference of Edwards. 179 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:51.160 Hard mister Hardy definitely. Yeah, they never referenced Edwards. If 180 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:51.959 they did, I missed it. 181 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:55.399 Okay, so Hardy being Robin Hardy, the director, Yes, of 182 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.480 Wicked Man, but I assumed mister Edwards was named after 183 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.319 Edward Woodward makes sense the main actor in it. 184 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.680 Yeah, yeah, I forgot that he was the actor. No, 185 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:07.560 they didn't reference that quite probably was the reason. 186 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:13.279 Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. So yeah, I mean we 187 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.639 we sometimes like to say, you know, if you haven't 188 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:21.279 watched the episode, but I'm sure you know by now. 189 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.600 Yeah, if you're still listening to this and listen to a. 190 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:27.360 Podcast analysis of an episode that you haven't watched. 191 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:30.839 What are you doing with your Yeah? 192 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:34.679 They always say that on the inside BBC thing, don't they. 193 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.039 And while we're on that, can I just have say 194 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.200 a bugbear of mine if anyone's listened to that BBC 195 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.440 Sounds thing. The way that Reese pronounces or delivers the 196 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:50.320 title he goes inside inside number nine really annoys me 197 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.600 because you should put the emphasis on the first one 198 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:57.399 because it's inside inside number nine bugs me every time. 199 00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:01.279 And I'm like, so if you if you're listening Reese, 200 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:02.799 sort yourself out. 201 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:08.240 Back in time. And yeah, but speaking of other things 202 00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.159 I learned from the podcast. Yeah, but it was originally 203 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:12.639 how they were going to imagine this, but they were 204 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:14.279 trying to come up with different things that they could 205 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.440 have as a nine. Oh yeah, obviously end up with 206 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.759 a classroom in the end. But originally it was going 207 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.480 to be an element number nine florine in the in 208 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.720 the periodic table, and it was going to be something 209 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:26.240 to do with protesting about the use of fluorine and water, 210 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:28.240 and it was going to be like a class project 211 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:30.559 about it. It was going to ultimately sort of end 212 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.679 in the same way I get, I think, right, But. 213 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:36.559 Yeah, that's interesting, because yeah, I was, I'll be honest, 214 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:38.399 I was thinking the class nine was a little bit 215 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:39.960 of a stretch. Hmmm. 216 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.120 I quite like it. It's a bit different. It's not 217 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:44.000 just a flatter of house. 218 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:46.279 Oh no, no, I don't mind it from that point 219 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.279 of view, But I just mean from someone who's worked 220 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:51.000 in primary schools, and I can't see why they would 221 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.080 be a class nine. Like you'd either name them by 222 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.600 their year groups, which obviously doesn't go up to nine, true, 223 00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:59.960 buy something else like trees or animals or something. 224 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:02.960 Yeah, and it doesn't strike me as the school that's 225 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:04.759 big enough to need nine different classrooms. 226 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:06.519 No exactly. I was going to say that as well, 227 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.159 like we never see any other teachers or any other classes. 228 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.759 You do in the filing things. See that there are 229 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:12.320 other teachers. 230 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:15.639 Oh yeah, there are. They exist, we just never see them. 231 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.879 We never see them. Yeah. 232 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.679 Anyway, we'll get into that as we get and I think, 233 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.240 yeah about it here, Yeah, let's kind of go through 234 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:27.360 what happens. So, like you said in the synopsis, we're 235 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.519 in this sort of rural Welsh village, very remote and 236 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.480 very sort of I feel like they're really leaning into 237 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:40.279 the stereotype of like backwards country people. Yeah, a little bit. 238 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.080 Yes, when Alan Reese's character gets introduced as being from 239 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.200 London and they're like, we're going to teach this class 240 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.360 in English, which is helpful if any of you ever 241 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:49.200 leave the village. 242 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:54.000 I know that you would going to marry your cousins, 243 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.559 aren't you. 244 00:10:55.559 --> 00:11:00.600 Your family has been here for generation. Just a concept 245 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.279 that someone might ever get on a bus and leave, 246 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:02.759 I know. 247 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.799 But the thing is, you know, it's a stereotype. But 248 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.279 I think places like that exist, don't. 249 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.279 Oh yeah, I grew up in one one of the 250 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:11.960 ones that got out. 251 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:13.200 You're one of the adventures. 252 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.919 Yeah, we had a village boss that left and went 253 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.080 to the nearest town once a week. It didn't come back, 254 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.879 but it went. It was a one way boss on 255 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.799 a Monday morning. What the hell use that was to anyone? 256 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:24.279 I don't know. 257 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.000 Well, why do you want to go back? That's the question. 258 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.840 Well, yeah, once you've seen the bright lights of the 259 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:28.519 near town. 260 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:38.039 I like Steve's character of mister Edwards. Interesting wig, yes, 261 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.320 and i I've written down actually maybe it actually is 262 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:42.120 a wig for once. 263 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.159 Yeah. Steve said that he showed his daughter this wig 264 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.799 and she was like, that is meant to be a wig, right, 265 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:53.399 it isn't fire the wig person. Yes, it's meant to 266 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:53.879 be a wigger. 267 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.559 Yeah, yeah, good, I think we can excuse that then, 268 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:02.639 And that awful sort of tofty Beard thing as well. Yeah, 269 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.360 I've not this before, but it's just amazing to me 270 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.879 every week how they they do manage to kind of 271 00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.559 be chameleons and kind of become completely different people. 272 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:16.200 Fifty odd different characters. Yeah, the whole series. It's impressive, 273 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.840 and like they're all subtly different. I know we joke 274 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.600 sometimes that some of the characters come back, but like 275 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.000 they're not. No, no, they are different every time. Absolutely 276 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:27.879 have some similarities, but yeah, there are like snowflakes. 277 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:34.000 Although on that note, Jumber, in series one, when we 278 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:36.639 did Tom and Jerry, I'm sure you said, as you said, 279 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:38.679 I think there's an episode maybe where they talked about 280 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:41.399 bringing this character back. Yes, I'm assuming this is the one. 281 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:43.720 It is this, It is this. They do cover that 282 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:45.799 in the podcast, but yeah, they did consider doing that. 283 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.399 I knew I'd heard it somewhere and I googled and 284 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.440 google and couldn't find it because it's in the podcast, right, 285 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.120 But yeah, they underneried about it, and apparently it was 286 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:57.000 in the script for most of the script that that 287 00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:00.279 was the case, but they ultimately decided it didn't really 288 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.960 add anything. No, all it did was add a bit 289 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.799 of confusion for people that hadn't seen the previous episode 290 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:07.120 that would feel like they'd missed something. 291 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.240 Yeah, I can understand that. 292 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.360 Plus I suppose they wanted a blank's light with it. 293 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.240 But also I guess it kind of takes away from 294 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:19.559 the misdirection story that they're going along. That wasn't the 295 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:24.440 hair with thee what they're tried like that there might 296 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.559 be something dodgy going on with Yes, the Allen character, 297 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:29.480 So if you already sort of know who. 298 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.679 He is, Yeah, and it would I think it would 299 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:34.080 just be a shame to kind of break their rule off. Yeah, 300 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.960 you know, everyone being in a separate They've never done 301 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:38.759 that in any other episode. I didn't see why. 302 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.159 I would have quite liked them to have done it once. 303 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:44.399 But it be the twist that we already know this person, 304 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:47.240 or it's a prequel to a different story and it 305 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:51.320 ends with another story starting or something, Yeah, like could 306 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.279 have been interesting. But yeah, I didn't really add anything here, 307 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:54.919 so they didn't. 308 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.679 Bother No, so yeah, he is a separate person. Yeah, 309 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:00.159 mister Curtis that. 310 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.360 The whole time writing my notes, getting lost between whether 311 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:07.360 he's called Alan or Adam. Yeah, I couldn't actually. 312 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.799 Remember he's also got an interesting wig. 313 00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.919 Yeah, it's better than Steves, but it is it's still 314 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.679 it's still a wig. Yeah. I feel sorry for whoever 315 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.759 the wik person was that he keeps liking them off everything. 316 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.000 No, I'm so sorry. One day we'll get you on 317 00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:23.279 the podcast Your Corner you. Yeah. 318 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.840 I had fifty per Yeah, I had seven wigs and 319 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:30.879 I kept spraying them and head and styling them and 320 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:31.440 trimming them. 321 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.320 They're like Marge's dress and the Simpsons. 322 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:38.720 Oh my god. Yes, there's at that brilliant moment where 323 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:40.720 she everything's gone wrong and she just sits there and 324 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.320 goes at times like this, Oh you can do is laugh. 325 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:54.639 She just sits there in silence, so relateable. Yeah, yeah, 326 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:56.600 that was what I tried. I tried to do a 327 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.919 March impression and no voice came out. It's just like 328 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:04.399 croaking away. It is a hard one. 329 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:06.879 It's in her contract that she doesn't have to do 330 00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:10.440 the voice outside of recording for the thing, actually for 331 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:12.759 the Simpsons, because she hates doing it that much in 332 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.679 public that she wrote it into her contract. They can't 333 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.279 make her do it in like interviews or whatever. Okay, 334 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:21.159 that's where you'll never ever see her doing it. No, 335 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:23.399 plus it's just the horrible on her throat to do 336 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:24.159 it well. 337 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.679 Yeah, I mean have you heard some of them more recent. 338 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:27.960 Yeah, it's changed a lot, hasn't. 339 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:32.480 It sounds like she's, yeah, needing to retire, but her 340 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:37.720 voice is ragged, bless her AnyWho. So yeah, so we've 341 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.159 got this introduction of the new teacher and the head 342 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.840 says that they've got a postcard from their last teacher, 343 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.120 mister King. Yes, and he gets a girl carry to 344 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:46.840 read it out. 345 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:49.799 And he's wishing them well from down under. 346 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:53.639 Which takes on a whole new meaning when you know 347 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:54.759 the twist it does. 348 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:58.840 I remember when we were in primary school getting teachers 349 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.360 like would send postcard from holidays and things, and it 350 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:02.080 was so sweet. 351 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.120 Yes, it is sweet. Yeah it was a different time 352 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:05.840 than really. 353 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.200 Yeah, it really was. I don't know if they still 354 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:09.120 do that, That's. 355 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:10.320 What I was going to say, Like, I can't really 356 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.480 imagine that these days. It'll be maybe you might get 357 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.679 an email or something these days, but postcards are something 358 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.879 quaint and cute about that, isn't there. Yeah I do 359 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:20.759 miss primary school. I mean I know I say that 360 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:22.639 as someone who only a few months ago stopped working 361 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:23.799 in a primary school. 362 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:25.360 So you say, do you miss the primary school working 363 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.960 there of high school being there? 364 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.639 Both? Really, but yeah, there's a lot of nostalgia about it, 365 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:31.879 isn't there. Do you ever see those posts on like 366 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:34.279 TikTok and stuff that are like, you know, pictures of 367 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.799 things that every nineties primary school had and like those 368 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.320 scissors with the like red handles and yeah, and I 369 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.000 see those posts and I'm like, they still have those now. 370 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.440 Like I saw a video of kids trying to identify 371 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.240 ancient technology and it was an overhead projector. I'm trying 372 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:52.360 to work a load of primary school kids trying to 373 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.159 work out what the overhead projector was going to do.
