They are the most unloved and unlovable of people. Born at the bottom of the heap, they will never shift from under the weight of poverty and ignorance. Yet they talk of love, love, love. Love shifts curiously between these three who use each other, who abuse each other, who suffocate each other, who weigh each other down.

Then it was crap for ages. Now it’s good again. Covinous Grim Reaper interviewees, nugatory incident reporting, monomaniacal zookeepers, wassailers barging in on the penhntalogue, a thwarted maniple, Robin Hood’s accountant’s eulogy, a concise history of concrete and many more sketches involving words we had to look up in the thesaurus and then the dictionary to make sure they meant what we wanted them to. There are also three supplicatory figs. Sometimes four.

Bright eyed and excited about the year to come, his enthusiasm is soon quashed by the most reviled class in the school, year 9F.

It seems that Alan’s students aren’t the only ones who will be getting an education this year.
