Why me? I would put all my energies into making the programme a success, and I would certainly gain an awful amount from the experience.
What did you get out of going back in time last summer? I arrived at the grammar school awaiting a half-hearted attempt at a re-creation of a 1950s boarding school - a bit of shouting, a few detentions and uninviting food. I wasn't prepared for the total and relentless immersion in the 1950s regime I underwent. It was shocking, especially since I was expecting to have one over on the other kids because I have been to a boarding school since I was 13.
