Personally, I probably wouldn't unless somebody coaxed me. 386 00:18:47,043 --> 00:18:50,443 Well, you went to a posh school. The one I went to, they just... 387 00:18:50,483 --> 00:18:52,883 It was like that when the teacher was in the room! 388 00:18:54,723 --> 00:18:56,963 So, what I'm thinking, is that, 389 00:18:57,003 --> 00:18:59,843 a lot of the time with the boys, 390 00:18:59,883 --> 00:19:02,523 it's like a classroom when the teacher's left. 391 00:19:02,563 --> 00:19:04,763 I kind of feel like when the teacher leaves the room, 392 00:19:04,803 --> 00:19:07,803 Gizmo will kind of sit in the corner and watch what's going on. 393 00:19:07,843 --> 00:19:10,523 Yes, yeah. I think that Dobby's just having a laugh. 394 00:19:10,563 --> 00:19:12,563 A little bit of a class clown. 395 00:19:12,603 --> 00:19:14,763 That's Dobby, yeah, definitely Dobby. 396 00:19:14,803 --> 00:19:16,443 I think that Sherlock isn't really sure 397 00:19:16,483 --> 00:19:19,003 about what's going on. And feel like Bertie's running round saying, 398 00:19:19,043 --> 00:19:20,203 "Guys, get back in your seats! 399 00:19:20,243 --> 00:19:22,083 "I don't know why everybody's out of their seats, 400 00:19:22,123 --> 00:19:24,883 "and please be good, and I don't know what's going to happen next, 401 00:19:24,923 --> 00:19:26,323 "and, jeepers! If the teacher 402 00:19:26,363 --> 00:19:29,083 "comes back and the room is a mess, there's going to be war!" 403 00:19:29,123 --> 00:19:31,203 Oh, God! That sounds like Bertie. 404 00:19:31,243 --> 00:19:34,043 That definitely sounds like Bertie. 405 00:19:35,283 --> 00:19:38,323 And I feel like, a little bit, your household 406 00:19:38,363 --> 00:19:41,843 is like recess and there's no teacher. 407 00:19:44,683 --> 00:19:46,963 Sounds about right really, doesn't it? 408 00:19:47,003 --> 00:19:48,843 That makes sense. 409 00:19:48,883 --> 00:19:50,843 It's not that he wants to be in control. 410 00:19:50,883 --> 00:19:53,883 He's not trying to rule the roost, he just can't cope. 411 00:19:53,923 --> 00:19:56,443 I can feel for him in that sense. Yeah. 412 00:19:56,483 --> 00:19:57,883 And it's not nice. No. 413 00:19:58,963 --> 00:20:02,483 It upsets me because I would never want to see him distressed, 414 00:20:02,523 --> 00:20:03,723 that's the thing. 415 00:20:03,763 --> 00:20:06,683 I've never saw it like that before, so... 416 00:20:06,723 --> 00:20:08,243 Yeah. A lot of the behaviours 417 00:20:08,283 --> 00:20:09,803 that we thought were naughty 418 00:20:09,843 --> 00:20:11,123 and him being bold, 419 00:20:11,163 --> 00:20:14,243 and it was just him crying out for help. Mm. Mm-hm. 420 00:20:15,763 --> 00:20:19,323 I think that all of them are having a really tough time. 421 00:20:19,363 --> 00:20:22,523 It's not just Bertie. The classroom needs a teacher. 422 00:20:22,563 --> 00:20:24,043 Yeah.
