Rosemary & Jonathan

"Funny you should be so tired, so early in the morning..." The Demon Headmaster series of books and TV adaptations has been in continuous publication since 1982. Now two friends will take a fresh look at the series, one having only read them recently, and the other having been a fan since they first watched the series in 1998 at the age of 6. We"ll explore the themes the books present, the context in which they"re written and see what new insights we can draw, reading them now as adults instead of

arts books

Look Into My Eyes ·

2024/05/15

This week on Look Into My Eyes, we consider Chapter 16 - The Computer Director's Triumph and do we have a lot to say. Clocking in at our longest episode so far, we discuss topics as varied as: why is Automatic Booby Trap a ridiculous name? Why might a quiet House of Commons make the Headmaster's scheme that little bit more attractive? And how is the Headmaster flying off in the helicopter the most amusing thing Rosemary's ever heard of? With over 1 hour and 15 minutes of content, strap in, it's

This week on Look Into My Eyes we're talking about The Prisoner, sadly not the 1967 Portmerrion-based thriller, but Chapter 13 of the Prime Minister's Brain. We discuss how this chapter seeks to bring together the split Dinah/SPLAT narrative we've been seeing for the last 8 or so chapters, the mysterious Restraint Room and our favourite scene of the book so far, with Harvey walking back towards the rubbish chute. Stick around at the end too, for Jonathan's highly innappropriate thoughts about Ian &
