    SO scarily exactly what BBC is doing. This is NOT a joke, is it?

      As I mentioned earlier - not just "exactly what the BBC is doing", but many, many schools, too - pop into any in which "Departments" have become "Faculties" and you'll discover that they've already "Combined Food with Music", and "Sport with Art".

        Lovely pun: "Six is the perfect number of orchestras".

            Ummm ...I heard that, but how is it a pun?
            "...the isle is full of noises,
            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              One for mathematicians (and Serialists) - in mathematical terms, six is a Perfect Number: it's the sum of its divisors (1 + 2 + 3). (The next one is 28: 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14).

                    Just watched episode 4 via the iPlayer. Wonderful finale. Great triumph for 'Ian Fletcher'. Absolutely pulled it out of the bag, whatever it was.

                      There are six in the series I think... But Ep. 4 obviously peaks nicely!

                          My reference was to the finale of the episode, not the series. Eager to find what comes of it. Poor Anna now in hospital, having suffered a relapse, plus fort.

                                Having "jumped the gun" and watched the final episode of this improved-as-it's-gone-on series, viewers will not I think feel let down this coming Monday, at the usual time.
