Yeah.

There was probably about 20 of us, I'm guessing.

I don't know if I'd say it was, I was always feeling that I was waiting for the bus to pull up with my life in it.

I had that feeling.

And I think the bus pulled up when I went to drama school.

But I, so it was fantastic and fun.

But school wasn't easy and, you know, so... And why wasn't school easy?

I didn't fit in.

It was a...

outer london greater london comprehensive and it was big yes as they all are thousands a thousand thousand children boys and girls yes and it was during thatcher and if you wanted to focus on anything creative that wasn't um praised or encouraged as much as focusing on job for life barclays bank job for life you know it was a very different climate in that way

So they were sort of period dramas that I was writing.

No, but what I mean is they would be... The dramas as in a story.
