In this final episode before we take a break, Lindsay and Shaun talk summer. They take a look at the silly season and Shaun quizzes Lindsay on some obscure summer facts. In addition they discuss the value of the UK summer school market. Ceri brings you another one of her corners and fittingly, for a summer episode, we whisk another teacher (David Petrie) off to a desert island.

In this episode we talk dead poet’s society. In a change from our usual format, Lindsay and Shaun 'sit down' with Ceri and James to discuss the film and why so many teachers cite it an influential film. During the conversation we decide that maybe the film is the catalyst for many of today’s classroom approaches and look at whether the teaching approach would work in the ELT classroom.

In this episode we talk excuses. Shaun and Lindsay discuss the rise of the technology excuses for not doing homework, does this mean an end to dog food? They also discuss the sad demise of grandmothers and give listeners valuable advise for those needing an excuse. We introduce two new features and get all cheesy.
