# Remeber though
that one of the requirements of being a teacher is that you must have no knoweledge of how to set up a TV and video.

In the event of being presented with a TV/video situation in class, you must spend the entire lesson trying to get it to work. In the unlikely case that you do it to work, remember to detune the TV in preparation for the next teacher.

# the same applies to senior management
It amazes me how our manager, who uses the same projector for a presentation 2 or 3 times a week, still doesn't have a clue how to set it up.

# was that the one about the great north run?
We had the computer game for that on the BBC in school. It was shit. Nowhere near as good as Granny's Garden.

Ah, just found this handy website:

I seem to remember Badger Girl being quite good.

# oooh no
The Boy From Space (1980s version) was the best by far. I also remember being slightly scared by Dark Towers.

while Geordie Racer was a load of sh*te.

# Hmm. Yes.
Did they think, "How shall we make an educational drama interesting for kids? What are the kids of today interested in? Of Course! Marathons and pigeons."


Great theme tune, though. Really catchy like.

# my dad
is was and always will be a teacher.
I resent that, but he is cool because he was the metal work teacher whilst I was at school so if we did watch a film it was about rolercoasters and all that.
