Big school

In the recent episode, where they have a talent show, look at the close-
up of the kids who hold up the scores for the last act, near the end of
the prog. Compare the drawing of the number '10' with the way it is
drawn in the more distant shot that follows.

Are you saying there is fiddling afoot, well blow me down. a reality show
which is slightly unreal. there is a thing.

I thought they were real, but maybe it was just a figment of my imagination.
Talking of school teachers, do they still have the gung ho PE teachers who
assume all children want to do and must be good at a sport. We had one at
our school, Me falling off a bar, getting a javelin in my leg and Throwing
up over the teacher on the trampoline convinced him in the end though. Brian

Too late I deleted it. What did I miss?
This programme has a very good cast.
I could name teachers, at the last school I attended, who were similar
to some of the characters.
Why doesn't it work?

I remember a bloke in my class doing a somersault over the wooden horse and
shouting out in pain as he landed. The PE teacher told him to get up and not
be such a wimp - when he couldn't the sod made him go and sit in the
changing room until the end of the period. Half an hour later the bloke was
carted off in an ambulance with a broken leg.

It's entirely your fault for breaking the rules.
Television programmes are now just brightly coloured, noisy wallpaper.
That's why screens are bigger. They are no longer intended to be
watched by people with any degree of intelligence or perception.

Is that hearsay or from bitter experience?

Yes

It was an entirely different 'drawn' '10'. One had serifs, the other was
sans serif and rounded.

Works for me. I wonder how many viewers didn't get the ongoing joke in this
episode where Miss Postern says "it's for the children of the United Kingdom
and Northern Ireland"

Big School is a "comedy"
Are you confusing it with Waterloo Road? :-)

Waterloo Road is not a reality show either.

Ah yes, reminds me of the (ex-Olympic trainer) swimming teacher at my
school who thought the best way to cure me of my fear of going
underwater was to throw me in at the deep end.

Took me 10 years before I went swimmimg again voluntarily.

There were some good times though; (a different) PE teacher asked me
which sport I wanted to do in the winter term and I said cross-country
running. Pleased that I was showing an interest, he asked me why and I
told him it was the only sport which finished early enough for me to
get home to see The Time Tunnel.
