Just Another Training Course?

We didn’t sign up for this
We expected:
Boring slides, monotonous tutors
Trapped in a classroom, back to skool
Just a different set of walls to stare at
Instead…
We found video equipment, stills cameras, microphones
Technology left, right and centre
We were going to do the One show, they said
Us, they said
We were thrown in at the deep end
Sink or swim. And boy, did we swim.
We released our potential
Out and about, lugging our equipment
The controlled chaos of writing, filming, editing
These brave ones picked up devices they had never used before
And got stuck in
Working in the background, the researchers
Poured over laptops, mining information
Facts and stories about our home town
The bravest stood in front of the cameras
Staring down the eye of the lens
Did I say swim? We built a boat and sailed
We released our potential
After the manic panic, we settle down to something more mundane
Your table has a number…
(I am not a table number; I am a free man…)
..We were formed into fantastic collectives, teams made up of
universes, dreams, Outlanders (RIP, table3)
Untouchables, and a number of women and Them
Every day a new quiz and opportunities for points
And what do points mean? …Well, you get my drift.
It’s every table for itself, you got to root for your team.
But we’re all winners here
