- 31:31we're
- 31:31working
- 31:32towards
- 31:32a
- 31:32show,
- 31:32then
- 31:32obviously
- 31:33there's
- 31:33quite
- 31:33a
- 31:34strict
- 31:34plan
- 31:35sort
- 31:35of

- 31:41a
- 31:41more
- 31:41ad
- 31:41hoc
- 31:42basis.
- 31:42So
- 31:43the
- 31:43term
- 31:43that
- 31:43we're
- 31:43going
- 31:43to
- 31:43come
- 31:43into
- 31:44now
- 31:44will
- 31:44be
- 31:45this
- 31:45kind
- 31:45of
- 31:45fallow
- 31:46period
- 31:46where
- 31:47because
- 31:48obviously
- 31:48it
- 31:48falls
- 31:49within
- 31:49the
- 31:49sort
- 31:49of
- 31:50summer
- 31:50term
- 31:50exams,
- 31:51etc.
- 31:52It's
- 31:52very
- 31:52difficult
- 31:53to
- 31:53do
- 31:54productions
- 31:54because
- 31:55we.
- 31:56We
- 31:56obviously
- 31:56understand
- 31:56that

- 31:59at
- 32:00this
- 32:00kind
- 32:00of
- 32:00time.
- 32:00But
- 32:01we
- 32:01equally
- 32:01don't
- 32:01want
- 32:01them

- 32:02on
- 32:02being
- 32:02in
- 32:02the
- 32:03show.
- 32:03So
- 32:03during
- 32:04that
- 32:04summer
- 32:04term
- 32:04we
- 32:04would
- 32:05work

- 32:10together.
- 32:10Which
- 32:11not
- 32:11only
- 32:11then
- 32:11means
- 32:11that

- 32:17of
- 32:17it,
- 32:17but
- 32:17bits
- 32:17of
- 32:17it.
- 32:18It
- 32:18also
- 32:19means
- 32:19that
- 32:20the
- 32:20youngsters
- 32:20that
- 32:21maybe
