Hello @BBCArchive Secondary school English teachers would love to be able to access the 1982 production of An Inspector Calls as it is a very faithful adaptation of a text set for GCSE exams.
Why is it not commercially available - and can you please consider making it so? 😊

Outrageous things you’ve heard on CPD courses?
I’ll go first...
I once went on a CPD course titled ‘How to lead an outstanding biology department’.
Quote from the person *delivering* the course: ‘So my department will never be outstanding because of our catchment area...’ 😬
The decision (if true) to abandon some GCSE subjects and just focus on ‘core’ subjects is abhorrent.
And I’m a Head of English.
