Just a reminder for everyone - this is on tonight (and I believe it has two more episodes to follow, not one).

You're right, it's me being daft, I meant to nudge the one about the school entry system on BBC2 this evening!

I'll go and nudge the other one now as well :lol:

Can't wait for this one - really like the idea of boys (and girls for that matter) being taught differently - should make interesting viewing. Wonder if it will work?

I found tonight's programme a little uncomfortable (don't know why) but it was good to see the process from the side of the office.
