@jcollinscareers @ThisisDavina This was exactly what I was saying as a woman struggling with the menopause sat sobbing at the similarities of his wife. It made me so upset. It needs to be recognised and taken seriously!
@hanthethinks The opening of Wallace and Gromit 'The wrong Trousers' is perfect for this - you get panning shots of the home, interaction between the characters, and not a single word spoken
@hanthethinks This episode of Inside Number 9 is done entirely without dialogue, so could be useful! It's also just a great show to watch!

@hanthethinks I was about to say Blade, but then I realised it's rated 18 and it's incredibly gory (which, in fairness, would probably go down well with a bunch of kids). Hannibal Lecter is introduced immaculately in Silence of the Lambs. Easy to discuss setting in that scene.
@hanthethinks Opening to Goldeneye is good, it introduces Brosnan as the new Bond. I use it in English to teach structure as the establishing shots of the setting are key to building up the heroism of the character. It's on YouTube.
This video from 2018 is on the BBC's website and says,

Have any of you taught the Edexcel GCSE English 2.0 lift qualification? I currently teach AQA, what are your thoughts on it?
