Mr. Milton was considered too baldy to play the role of
William Wallace, despite a good shouting, slashing and
hacking ability. His Scottishness was sound, but he was
considered to scary for legitimate kilt wearing, which
rather limits the prowess of a Scottish warrior. As head of
Whites house, he has good troop rallying abilites, but these
were cut short when he started telling his assembled army a
funny story about some foreign people. Good, but not good
enough. |

Dr. Street fared quite well in the auditions, she had
descent swordswomanship, wielding her claymore like a woman
possessed. In fact, it was this very eagerness to kill and
maim that lead to her being refused the part: it was
generally agreed that when the red mist came down she would
be more or less uncontrollable. The upshot of this is that
the amount of false blood that would be needed to be
purchased for the battle sequences was halved. The down side
was that too many people lost their lives. Just where has
Mr. Physics Clarke gone? |

Mr. Cartman did very poorly in the William Wallace
auditions, frequently deciding that attempting to invade
England would lead to eventual economic doom with regards to
overseas trade. For as far as a mile around, the eagle-eared
could hear the angry voice of Dr. Lockyer shouting
furiously: "You've missed the point!". This was another
problem. Mr. Cartman's aim was found to be appallng,
frequently aiming his sword for a dummy, that was being used
to demonstrate sword techniques, and then landing a blow in
a different time zone. Disappointing. |

Mr. Lewis was deemed too hyperactive to be William
Wallace, and instead returned to shouting at first years,
something that most people enjoy from time to time.
Interestingly, Mr. Lewis collects many weapons, from various
periods in teaching history. It is said that in his office
he has a cupboard like that crazy bad guy out of the Crow,
with all swords and stuff in it, and that during half term,
anyone foolish enough to break into the school building will
come face to face with Mr. Lewis, dressed like a Samurai,
wielding an antique Japanese sword in each hand, ready to
drive away the intruder. People speculate as to why he lurks
around the school like this, but no-one really knows. |

Mrs. Cassidy, although for complex legal reasons technically undead, still found time to audition for the William Wallace part. Her curly haired demeanor and her curiously random classical outbursts made her unsuitable for the role, but Dr. Lockyer said that should he be making a more appropriate film, perhaps a version of Macbeth, then he maight have the perfect role for her. What could he mean? |
