Episode 78 - To Sir, With Love

2 hours 42 minutes

Mr Thackeray believed one should fight for what one believes. Provided one is absolutely sure one is absolutely right - he's clearly never met Ian. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, and Ellie (Georgia's away in detention) as Liam's pick sends us back to school with To Sir, With Love. It's a cram session of a 78th episode as we discuss:

Our respective performances as students in high school

Why Columbia Pictures sat on this film after being completed for more than a year

Liam asks Ian some questions about what it's like to be a teacher, and shares some stories about his own troublemaking school days

How little the budget for this film was and how it paid off big for two of the principal players

Where the clearly obvious romantic storyline between Thackeray and Gillian disappeared to half way through

We discuss the iconic title song and draw comparisons to Breakfast at Tiffany's in its implementation

We again discuss Steve Neale's three states of viewing as one of the panel almost resigns themselves to an oppositional reading of the film

We find out a crazy filmography note for one of the actors in the film

Ian compares Denham to another character from a recent BFE review

Whether or not To Sir, With Love is the Best Film Ever
