Episode 4 | The Demon Headmaster - Chapter 4 - The Best School I've Ever Been To
In this episode we consider Chapter 4, The Best School I've Ever Been To, which features our first introduction to SPLAT and our first look at Assembly. We consider questions like, how involved are all the other members of staff in the school? How creepy is the idea of 200 children, eating completely in sync with each other? And how is the Headmaster's attempt to hypnotise Dinah a subtle criticism of an education system that favours teaching to the test? Find out on this week's episode of Look Into My Eyes.
