It's one thing for former pupils to say they don't want to be involved, but these are teachers, some of whom, like this guy, still work with children. I expected them to feel a certain responsibility to help with an investigation into potential child abuse that may have happened on their watch.

No problem. All the best. Gareth did try to prepare me for it, but still, the uniformity of the response took me by surprise.

I mean, I think what's outrageous about it is how many. Oh yeah, mad. One or two. Heather MacIsaac would be a good one if you could get her to talk, by the way.

Heather MacIsaac. The only teacher who Gareth says ever confronted him back then. These days she teaches in Scotland. I managed to trace her through a hockey club she belongs to. And she tells me what she told the police a few years before, that even though she and Sally Ann Bowen were such good friends, she had absolutely no knowledge of the rumours.

And that if she had, she would have reported Miss Bowen immediately. The conversation in the corridor, when she apparently told Gareth she knew about the relationship, it didn't happen, she says. But when I tell her everything Gareth's been through since, she says she wants to apologise to him.

That she's embarrassed she didn't protect him, because he was vulnerable and she could see that at the time. Even though she says she can't remember any of it, she does seem open to the idea of an interview. And when I tell Gareth he's excited, at least she's engaging. But the next day, Heather MacIsaac emails again.

Es ist schwierig für Gareth, zu bemerken, dass so viele Menschen seine Erinnerungen kontradikieren.

Es gibt keine Beweise dafür und es klingt ehrlich gesagt ein bisschen paranoid. Aber wir wissen jetzt, dass es hier einen historischen Präzeden gibt, dass Institutionen wie Schulen sexuellen Verbrechen verhindern, um einen Skandal zu vermeiden. Vor allem diejenigen, die fühlen, dass sie eine Reputation zu retten haben.

I haven't read it. I have no idea what it says. I've been waiting for you. I feel like it's... I thought we should read it together. I'm working from home and I've just jumped on a call with my producer Gary because there's been a development. Phoebe from the office just sent me a WhatsApp photo of a large envelope that arrived in the post for me today.

And so I said, just open it, I can't possibly wait. And she said, oh, it's very long. And I said, I just don't care, get to the name at the end. What's the name at the end? Because, you know, obviously I feel like I've sent out a hundred odd letters. The name is Mr. D. Tinch, Des Tinch, Gareth's Head of Year. I'd be happy to hear from anyone, but Mr. Tinch is near the top of my list.
