'What goes around, comes around' as the saying goes, and this is a good case in point. Peterson is about to go under the knife. Doctor Roberts has just started talking him through what is going to happen, when something about the patients look suddenly rings a bell -- surely this cannot be Peterson his former PE teacher?! Then all the memories come flooding back... :-) A brilliant sketch taken from the BBC Series 'The Armstrong & Miller Show'. Level: B2 -- C1 Topic: Education / Memories / Health -- Hospitals As usual, the handout [+ the KEY] is to be found here -- under 'Comedy Handouts 5' [NB: To download documents from the site, you need to use Firefox or Internet Explorer] http://www.michelioudakis.org/ [NB: I do not own the copyright to this video clip.

SCRIPT R: So I gather this is your second heart by-pass operation Mr Peterson, but I still need to take you through the various procedures we are going to…. eer… * P: Everything alright, doc? R: Mr Peterson? P: Yes, that’s right… R: Mr Peterson, member of staff at King’s Grammar, Denby P: Yes, eer, it’s a while back, but yes…eer… R: Yes… Roberts – Gareth Roberts. You were my PE teacher. P: I’m surprised you remember me. R: Oh, I remember you. * P: Roberts – that must be, what… R: 26 years. P: Easy to forget, isn’t it? R: 27 in September. * P: Quite. So you were one of my lads, were you? I see… Cricket team? I bet… R: No. P: Rugby squad? R: No. I wasn’t really that into games Mr Peterson… I was more of an academic… Or ‘poofter’ * as I believe you liked to call us… P: Yes, ‘All work and no play…’ R: ‘…makes Jack a dull boy’. Yes, I remember that… Only in this case, ‘All work and no play makes Jack a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons’. ** Anyway – let’s get you all prepped-up, shall we? You’ll be pleased to see that I’m wearing the correct uniform this afternoon, Mr Peterson… * That always seemed to bother you so much… I assume you won’t be making me run 50 laps of the hospital – in my underwear… * P: There were different teaching guidelines then… It all seems very unfashionable today, but that’s the way things were… And if some of the lads were less adept in the rough-and-tumble, well… * (Dr Roberts is preparing a huge syringe) …I’m… sorry… R: What was that? P: I said I’m… sorry… * Dr Roberts… R: Technically, it’s ‘Mr Roberts’. We’ve dropped the ‘Dr’ beyond consultancy level… P: Well, you weren’t that bad, Roberts; anyway there were far worse than you, like… oh, who was that fat kid? What was his name? Largyl… Oh, that’s it – Lardy! Tom Lardy! R: And this is your anesthetist, John Hardy… ** Don’t you worry – we’ll soon have you out of that operating theatre… stark, bollock naked and tied to the flagpole… **
