Yikes, yes! There are no sources for any of it, though. I wonder what
that's about.

It’s mostly based at the school and features a guest appearance by UK

> Adrian Edmondson, playing a very timid teacher. I did wonder while

> were aware that he was the same actor who plays the iconic character of
> Vyvyan (had to look up the spelling) in THE YOUNG ONES. As it says on
> imdb.com, Adrian Edmondson “Often plays violent, anarchic characters.

> Often plays characters with a squawky, shouty voice.”

> I completely missed that that was him! Then again, it was ages since I saw
The Young Ones.


> I loved the scenes between Lynda and Mr Sullivan. Nick Stringer who plays

> I love Mr. Sullivan!

I had a lot of trouble getting the sound to sync this time, and am still
not sure I fixed it!
I ended up talking about teaching most of the time, maybe I'll cut some of
that away for the shorter version. :-)
