Form 6 Review

Good Morning Cundall!  Britain’s first ever school breakfast television show was hosted by the incredibly cool, calm and collected Imani Botham and Oliver Hartman last Thursday night. In a clever twist to the Form 6 review presentation, pupils used the morning TV show format as a vehicle to connect a series of hilarious sketches that both parodied the rather over-enthusiastic genre and certain members of long suffering staff! As is tradition, many of the sketches featured a collection of much loved teachers placed in a rather compromising situation such as ‘The Island’, a reality TV programme that introduced a rather excitable character called Bear Bains (sound familiar?), and featured Romey Dawson as Miss Baggaley, Hamish Mainey as Mr Vale and Teagan McIntosh as Senorita to name but a few, all battling it out to survive the hostile environment. We were treated to a lecture about the importance of the water molecule from Josh Johnson playing Mr Smith and a rather hungry and therefore dangerous Mr Sample, played by Fraser McPhearson in a stunning wig. In a comical take-off of a Party Political Broadcast, staff vied for dominance, with Miss Kuit (Jemima Telfer) proposing that Latin should become the only language spoken at school and any dissenters were to be thrown to the lions! And who could forget Monty Powell who spoke for The Headmaster’s Party and Hugh Whitworth for the History Party; both had the audience in stitches. To add to the mayhem, there was a random dance performance of YMCA and to cap it all off Form 6 sang a moving and completely adulterated version of Mama Mia! Overall, a good time was had by all and many pupils expressed how much they had enjoyed being so creative in such a short time. Many thanks to the all the good sports who were gently ribbed; Form 6 wouldn’t be able to do it without you!
