Episode 6
At lunch one day Baxter pulls up Simon for missing a rearranged football practice. Simon says he never saw any notice. Baxter says that that is no excuse, as everyone else saw it. Simon is given a three-match suspension from the team. Tucker invites Simon to join his secret society, the Tremblers, on the condition that he climbs to the top of the school tower. He says that the existing members (Alan, Benny, Hughes and himself) have already done it (they haven't). The entrance to the bottom of tower is in a props room hehind the stage in the assembly hall. Tucker goes up first and succeeds and comes back. Simon and Alan then do the same. Benny is up the tower when Garfield enters the props room. Tucker uses the excuse that he is helping with scenery for the school musical. Garfield throws the four boys out and closes the door into the tower, meaning Benny is trapped from the inside. The boys decide they must now wait until after school to let Benny out. In Sutcliffe's class, Simon is asked to read aloud but pretends to be sick and is sent out for fresh air with Tucker. He tells Tucker he was only pretending so that he didn't have to read. The boys try to let Benny out but Garfield is still in the vicinity and sees them. Tucker returns to class. When the coast is clear Simon goes to let Benny out. They hatch a plan to scare the others. Benny leaves the school. After school the boys (minus Benny) meet up to free him (or so they all think except Simon who obviously knows he is free). The assembly hall is occupied with rehearsals for the musical so the boys agree to come back after tea and break into the school and let Benny out. Benny turns up first. Simon has been hiding inside the school and opens a window to let Benny in. Benny goes back into position behind the "locked" door, and Simon lights some candles (as the electricity is off) just as the others ,except Hughes, arrive. The boys lark about and Simon and Benny scare Tucker with a plastic skeleton. Accidentally a candle is knocked over and the room goes on fire! The boys run away from the school except for Simon who trips over a cable on the Hall stage. The boys do not notice this until they are in the playing fields and the sound of the approaching fire engines can be heard.

World War II with Tom Hanks

For eighty years, the Second World War has remained the most devastating and defining conflict in human history. World War II with Tom Hanks is a landmark documentary event that reexamines the war through the lens of a new century. Told over twenty hours and guided by Tom Hanks, whose lifelong passion for this history has shaped some of the most profound screen portrayals of the era, the series captures the full arc of the war — from the rise of fascism in Europe to the fall of Berlin, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, and the uneasy peace that follows. Each episode uncovers new dimensions of the conflict: the decisions that shaped the battlefield, the unseen networks that sustained the war effort, and the aftershocks that still shape our world today. "World War II with Tom Hanks" is the definitive retelling of that story for a new generation: a sweeping, deeply human portrait of how the modern world was forged in the fires of global war.
