Inspector calls on tv

33 replies

My DS started studying an inspector calls just before Christmas and apparently has to do coursework on it before Easter. I'd love him to watch it but I can't find it on any of the streaming services (and the uk theatre tour doesn't come anywhere near us until May which is too late). Anyone know where we can do this - happy to pay!

Ask at school if they'll watch it as well. We have all the dvds and usually watch them once the scheme of work is finished

Has he studied the whole thing and does he have a good grasp of the plot, themes and devices, key quotes and context?

I've inherited a lower ability year 11 class (we're doing AIC atm as well) who really shouldn't have watched Jekyll and Hyde when they did for example, as I'm still unpicking their misunderstandings from the version they watched.

For most students who have finished studying the play, watching is a good thing but thought I'd just check!

Interesting - will have a look at the radio play. DS is quite a visual learner though so I thought tv version would be good or a recording of stage play.

Could you buy the dvd?

We don't have a dvd player anymore - ours broke and I just assumed there was no point as everything is online now ...
