I hope you forward this to the Channel 4 editor and to PB - especially as someone on TES boardmentioned that they are looking for people for a second series. Meanwhile, a Channel 4 doc. on teaching PB on how to teach spelling etc. would be a wonderful antidote (not reality telly orientated...so no chance) or at least having someone who is seeped in SP teaching acting as his side-kick next time around. Am going to ask what part of London James is in - it's quite immoral to leave him in that position and the least channel 4 can do is to pay for one-to-one lessons for him. Am feeling so ambivalent about the whole thing as anything that raises awareness of the disastrous provision for adults is good, but somehow PB has both promoted and subverted SP... best, geraldine Excellent, Tricia.
