He’s sent to the school to teach history as a kind of occupational therapy, as he’s had a bad case of shell-shock in the Great War. He’s quite a radical, especially compared to most of the masters. He gives a great performance, as does Neil Stacy as the science master who runs the OTC. I saw it at the time, and am watching the DVDs now. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Richard, 20,000 Streets was tremendous!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Christine<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a name="_MailEndCompose"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></a></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> <a href="mailto:afamilyatwar-list-bounces@baylor.edu">afamilyatwar-list-bounces@baylor.edu</a> [<a href="mailto:afamilyatwar-list-bounces@baylor.edu">mailto:afamilyatwar-list-bounces@baylor.edu</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Scott Filderman via Afamilyatwar-list<br><b>Sent:</b> 15 January 2018 14:31<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:afamilyatwar-list@baylor.edu">afamilyatwar-list@baylor.edu</a>; Veit, Richard<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Afamilyatwar-list] TV Series<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I thank all the wonderful AFAW fans who have made these recommendations.
