ER. When we first asked you what Techniquest was about you talked a lot about enthusiasm and a thirst for going on and doing some learning but here you talk about communicating knowledge and quizzes and things, it's quite different in a way. I don't know if you see that difference.

CW Yeah, I mean there's certainly some not, you know, there's certainly content - in there as well. If you said to me what would I be most pleased with at the end of a show. Would it be that they're enthusiastic or would it be that they know a lot more, I'd want the enthusiasm every time so I would. But, having said that I know that, I know if they come here and, and say a presenter really gets all the kids so hyped up that, that basically they're, they're, they come out the show, like really hyped up but, they haven't taken anything in cause it's just been so wacky, then that's not good either, because the teach, it's not helping the teachers you see, and I see my role very much as helping the teachers to deliver what they need to deliver. So, so yeah I want enthusiasm, so I, I'm, I've contradicted myself almost, haven't I ((laughing))
