Year 12 Xmas Holiday Work
You should complete the following essay on a television drama extract.
The extract is on my youtube site. Search for amlegg (you might have to look down the list a little). When you have found me look in my 'Favourites'. You will see a extract entitled:

This is a 5 minute clip from the drama Primeval. This was the exam question last summer.
Watch the clip 4 times. Then write an essay for 45 minutes (plus any additional extra time). Do not just stop after the time; complete the essay but mark the time code in the margin.
The QUESTION:
