medinner's video: In Bed With Medinner s3 ep17 - In School and Bus Driver Magician

The purpose of Medinner is to find archaic clips and mock them, relating modern viewpoints to old concepts of programme-making. 'In School' features the fly on the wall style of documentary making that is still embraced by many modern conceits. The clip opens with a number of pupils rolling in late to school- nowt different there then... apart from the excuses. Medinner.co.uk remembers saying that a grandparent had taken poorly, or the alarm clock had failed to go off, but these pupils are inventive: 'had to carry heavy bag' (fair enough), 'rescued cat from tree' (arguably complete bullshit), 'put cat up tree' (absolute genius riposte!) The clip continues with a confession from a schoolboy that really places it in early 1990s popular culture- a lad is chided for telling a teacher to 'suck his plums'; regular readers of Viz circa 1990 will recognise this! Bob jumps rather than segues into 'Bus Driver Magic' where a Northern bloke tells about how he has learned fairly inventive magic tricks to impress his passengers. What programme was this on? Has there ever been a series on bus drivers who have additional skills beyond PSV and HGV capabilities? Who knows. Part two is the classic 'Aaaaaaabingdon' clip. An inebriated rocker, a bus stop, a policeman- pure Medinner enjoyment. Again, as I watch and review these- what flamin prog did this come from Bob???
