BS: The other thing I wanted to ask you is, for you to talk about the constraints that you're working on when you produced the show. For instance=

SB: =yes we were in a bit of a rush for this one. In theory we should plan things further in advance but um we had done three new shows in a row and that was the third one we'd done. Under the Sea, followed by Snackbox and followed by um Pushes and Pulls. And, next year, we are doing one new show in the whole year, because it will give us time to do it properly, we think. Yes, it's not ideal but because of the running the way the programme ones and everything's so quickly following on from this one, we did it in a shorter time scale than we ( ) did on the others but, we felt quite confident with it because we'd been doing - forces we'd been doing toys for a while we had things that we - we'd worked on so, if it had been a brand new topic that we'd never ever touched upon - like electricity key stage one would be one that I think we would probably have to start earlier with the planning because - we've not we've not done anything on electricity for key stage one. Not really, not in depth and that's quite hard to fix so.

Yes. And also the other thing was that at the time we developed it the workshop were - really really working flat out for external events and thing. So we didn't end up having much workshop time to - to do it to make things for the show. Usually we get one or two really nice pieces of demo equipment made and - we didn't this time so. That's probably - something we could improve on next time, I think.
