13 Trips

1

I have provisionally booked a tour of the BBC on May 3rd. I booked an early session so that we would have a very full day and would be able to do something interesting after the tour. It only lasts 90-120 minutes so I don’t want to take everyone up to London for a couple of hours and then have to turn back again.

However, the current booking means that we would have to leave by 7am. If that is going to be impossible for anyone, I can try to rearrange a later slot. Can you let me know asap - please. I want to take all 29 of you.

2. It appears that I can apply for 9 audience tickets for ‘Deal or No Deal’ in Bristol for a day in the following filming blocks:

05/02-09/02

26/02-02/03

Now, assuming that I go with you, I have to choose 8 students. I have to give the names of everyone in my application so we need to move quickly.

So, if you would like to go, and you are over 18 - don’t lie as I will check with our school office and with the Downfield office - let me know asap. I will have to put the names in a hat at break-time on Friday (2nd).

3. If you are seriously interested in going to Yorkshire to the National Museum of Film and Television on April 25th (with probable overnight stay in Youth Hostel, let me know).

12 Revision News

I am tired of printing out the same things again and again. Too many trees have been chopped. In a desperate bid to save the planet, I have put together an archive of useful material. You can print out anything that you are missing. There are some new things so look carefully.

The material can all be found on the page called 12 Sitcoms on the left-hand menu. If you can’t find it, this should take you there too http://adamrobbins.edublogs.org/12-sitcoms/

I am going to be adding some more revision material over the next few days. Keep looking.
