We went to the same school.
Obviously we weren't in the school at the same time.
No, no, no, no. Let's just clear that up right now.
How old are you? He's a grandad. How old are you?
We wasn't at the same time. I think you was like a good couple of years just before me.
Yeah, yeah.
But we share something in common which is the same drama teach.
So how was drama for you? Because I know Miss Simpson very, very well.
It was good. Rory Simpson, she was like a big part of my career, man.
You know what? We've got a little surprise. Miss Simpson's here tonight.
Oh.
Let's see it.
Really?
What's up, Rory? How you doing, Miss? You okay?
It's Miss, guys.
Oh, my God. That's so nice.
Oh, my God.
Yes, Miss.
I feel bad for using your first name now as well.
So, Miss, I have to call you Miss.
Mo tried to make me cry, you know.
Yeah?
She's here tonight.
What was Ashley like in school?
No, honestly, probably not how you all imagine.
He was so hardworking and studious.
Really conscientious.
Come up at break time and lunch time,
and he'd just be rehearsing and writing and asking to use the practice room.
He was just brilliant.
He just worked really, really hard.
He was such an amazing teacher.
Oh, man, listen, I have to go and give her a hug.
Oh, my gosh.
That's so nice.
That is so sweet.
How would you describe me in school, Miss?
A bit different.
You were pretty naughty.
Like, you'd try and get out of lesson to play football, let's not lie,
and you would try and come in late or sneak in or sneak out,
make an excuse.
Yeah, different is all I'm saying.
Yeah, let me go up now.
I know there's a lot of people in the room that don't know this lovely lady,
but a lot of us were from council estate backgrounds,
and it was nice to have a teacher that actually gave a shit.
So, please, can we give it up to Miss Simpson?
