Good Lord, is that old thing still holding up!

Absolutely! It only comes out once a year and apart from a couple of dinks that you can see along the bottom edge where it fell down a few years ago, it still looks magnificent! A lasting testament to your prowess 8)

It's nice to see it again, I only thought it would last the one time :)

Here’s something we managed to determine at this year’s event - it may be known to some but we couldn’t find any definitive reference as to which direction on the bridge Linda Thorson was running during the opening titles of Series 6. An in-depth investigation found that she was running from the school side towards the Watling Street side (NW to SE) as evidenced by the hole in the brickwork:

…which is still there to this day:
