Ok, I didn’t fall over BUT…
Halfway through, I’d already gone up at this point, they had a break to let an alumni speak. This time it was someone from CBeebies, a director or writer, anyway he was trying to tell the younger graduates about time seeming to pass quicker as you get older and seize the day and all that and he emphasised his point by basically saying “3 years ago my stomach exploded, it was removed and then I had a heart attack…you never know when you might die” (extreme paraphrasing). At that moment there were two huge thuds on stage where the staff were sat and they stood up and shouted for an abumlance and you could see one of them seemingly doing CPR on the staff member who was in the floor.
Anyway, the guy had only fainted and they weren’t doing CPR but fanning him, which was lucky because in the entire auditorium no one did ring an ambulance when asked to because we’re all too British to make the first move.
