Revisiting: Recent Episodes
Laura K and Laura G
Revisiting is the only podcast you'll ever need for nostalgia. We're talking pink Motorola Razrs, Windows XP and Smirnoff Ice, all topped off with a Von Dutch cap and spritzed with Glo by J-Lo.
20-somethings Laura K and Laura G have decided to mine their digital diaries – old text messages, Facebook statuses, and emails to Mum - in attempt to relive those halcyon days when life was all about whether you had enough money to buy that Paul's Boutique bag.
Each week, the girls also explore a cultural phenomenon from down the generations as they spin the Wheel of Nostalgia. What's it going to land on next? Now CDs? Pizza Express? An analytical re-watch of Clueless? The possibilities are almost literally endless, and almost certainly embarrassing.
Find out every week on Revisiting, podcasting's most hilarious trip down memory lane.

It's our final episode, and what better way to sign-off from our long stroll down memory lane, than revisiting our favourite ever episode.
It's 2010, we've finished our A Levels, and we're off to party in Zante, Malia, Ayia Napa, or wherever there was cheap booze, loud music, and lots of adolescent nonsense. So grab your personalised t-shirt, forget your dignity, and join us for one last hurrah of Revisiting - dancing on podiums heavily encouraged.
We'd like to thank all of our listeners for their support over the past 2 and a half years, and for sharing their own stories with us - it's been a true pleasure.

It's the penultimate episode of our Greatest Hits season, and this week calls for another of our guest specials.
We're revisiting our interview with Iain Morris, co-creator of the award-winning series The Inbetweeners. Iain's telling us how they went about casting the characters we know and love, what life was like on the set of The Festival, as well as which of his own teenage experiences are reflected in the show.

This week we're throwing it back to the start of season 3 and summer 2k8. While Laura G is at Reading Festival, Laura K is driving round Nice in a red Ferrari with a 'hunky' French man.
We're also reminiscing on our first proper dates, which inexplicably featured a Streetcar Named Desire, a trip to Ted Baker, and an awkward trip on the London Eye.

This week, we're Revisiting another of our guest specials, featuring former Heat magazine Editor, Sam Delaney.
Sam reveals what it was like at the helm of the UK's favourite celeb magazine at the height of the 00s, featuring his top tips on designing the best cover (make things red!), as well as which celebrity family he was never allowed to mess with...

It simply wouldn't be a Greatest Hits episode without revisiting our episode on first kisses so this week we're looking back on a particularly 'wet' affair for Laura G, and Laura K watching Bridget Jones on repeat to brush-up on her snogging technique.
We're also remembering the time Laura K was 'serenaded' by Basshunter on stage, and some of our listeners' best stories from meeting Z-list celebrities.

It's the one we've all been waiting for. Or rather, it's the one that Laura K has been waiting for.
This week, we're looking back at the final episode of Season 5, where we're joined by Abz from legendary boyband, Five.
Abz is telling us all about how being in Five turned him into a 'bit of an arsehole', as well as what it was like being a star at such a young age.
Laura K is struggling to contain how starstruck she is, and Laura G is grooving along to a sneak preview of Abz's new song.

Today, we're forcing ourselves to look back at Season 2, Episode 2, and on what is perhaps the most embarrassing of teenage experiences - sex education. From graphic photos to ridiculous depictions of people having sex, we're remembering what we were and weren't taught at school.
We're also discussing our first email addresses, our first experiences of Facebook, and reminiscing on a time when "Oi oi Minger!" was an appropriate greeting on someone's Facebook wall.

This week we're looking back at the penultimate episode of Season 1.
It's 2007 and while Laura K is obsessing over Romeo and Juliet, Laura G is busy drawing a beauty spot on her face and considering making it permanent.
You'll also hear some of LG's best singing, which we promise you won't want to miss.

On today's episode we're looking back at the moment we first learned about Laura K's obsession with Freddie Flintoff following the 2005 Ashes series.
We're also remembering some highlights of 00s style, as one of us is 'contemplating fashion', and deciding whether Ugg boots and checked shirts is the way forward.

For our final season, we're looking back at some of our favourite episodes and funniest moments - our Greatest Hits, you might say.
Of course, we're starting this season where it all began, reading Laura Kirk's very first diary entry from February 2005, and transporting ourselves back to being 13. LG is giving us some unusual flirting tips and LK is losing her mind over Brookside hunk, Phillip Olivier.

The Limbo, summer term, and the Lizzie McGuire Movie
This week, with the return of schools imminent, we're basking in the glorious memories of summer term, including flirting with boys at Sports Day, sunbathing on the field at lunch, and LG's unexpected but fervent desire to play rounders.
And for Blockbuster Friday we're reviewing The Lizzie McGuire Movie, which means more terrible accents, scenes on mopeds, and the worst of 00s fashion.

This week, Laura G is stepping into her new role as our resident skin guru as we discuss how being forced to stay inside has affected our skin. Unfortunately for Laura K, endless Zoom meetings has meant far too much time staring at her own face, and far too much time to buy endless skin products, none of which seem to be working.
And of course, for Blockbuster Friday we're reviewing Gladiator, and debating whether we were or were not entertained by Russell Crowe as a sexy Roman.

This week, we're discussing the lockdown phenomenon of care packages, from restaurant meal kits to a humble flat white delivered to your door.
Laura K is also trying to explain to Laura G the challenges facing the Premier League, but thankfully LG has a solution involving Pokemon Go and a volleyball...
And for Blockbuster Friday we're reviewing the cult classic, Fight Club.

This week, with news of the lockdown exit strategy imminent, we're musing about what life will look like in the future. Will our obsession with puzzles persist? Will we keep spending our Saturday nights having virtual pub sessions? And will we finally stop telling ourselves we're going to learn a language?
For Blockbuster Friday we're turning our attention to the zeitgeist, and that means Normal People. We're discussing why we think everyone is so obsessed with it, and what what our own equivalent of Connell's infamous chain would be.

This week - on our last guest special of the season - LG is chatting to blogger Clemmie Telford. Clemmie remembers the days when 0800 Reverse was a thing, Body Shop White Musk was life, and Bay Trading was where you’d get the ultimate grown up school disco outfit.
In the meantime, go listen to our mini-series The Isolation Diaries, released in this feed every Friday!

This week we're looking at how the better half live, and frankly, we're annoyed. From group renditions of John Lennon to TikTok dances, we're discussing how the celebs have been 'coping' with lockdown.
This week's Blockbuster Friday is Passport to Paris, and while Laura Gallop is excited to watch her beloved Olsen twins in action, Laura Kirk can't get past the dodgy French accents.
And finally, we're responding to THAT jacket potato photo, and waxing lyrical over turkey dinosaurs.

This week, we're discussing what we've been doing to keep us in tip top shape, from cutting our own hair to putting fruit and vegetables on our faces. We're also debating why everyone is talking about alcohol, and Laura G is sharing her tips on making the best margarita.
And of course, we're sharing our thoughts on Martin Scorsese's award-winning Goodfellas - perhaps the only film in recent memory that's managed to keep us both entertained.

This week, LG chats to activist and The Pants Project founder, Tash Bishop. Tash has Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH), which means she was born without a womb.
Throughout her teenage years Tash had no idea why she hadn’t started her period, even going so far as to fake it with food dye. We discuss the impact her eventual diagnosis had on her as a teenager – from relationships, to friendships, to her own sense of femininity.
You can find Tash on social media @wearethepantsproject or thepantsproject.com

We've also got an exclusive insight into what it's like dating during lockdown, including fuck boys, nudes, and dates at virtual art galleries.
And of course, we're sharing our thoughts on Star Wars: A New Hope, and whether we'll be binging the rest of the collection.

This week, LG is speaking to comedian Sophie Duker. You might recognise Sophie from her sell out shows at Soho Theatre, her appearances on 8 Out of 10 Cats, or from Channel 4’s Riot Girls. She’s host and founder of the Wacky Racists comedy night, and her comedy so far has been a provocative exploration of the stereotyping and fetishizing of black women.
Today, she’s telling us why she wrote sexy Harry Potter fan fiction, why she believed she was a 13 year old hacker, and what she freaked out about the first time she got drunk.
You can follow Sophie @sophiedukebox and check out @wackycomedyclub to buy tickets for post quarantine lols.

This week we're joined by none other than Dani Harmer, who starred as Jacqueline Wilson's Tracy Beaker in the hit CBBC series.
We're talking about what it was like to be a 12 year old on set - from squeezing in naps, to studying for GCSEs - as well as her brief foray in the music industry.
Dani’s also telling us how she felt when Stormzy sampled the Tracy Beaker theme in his latest album, and why a collab could be on the cards...

We're also sharing our new found hobbies, as Laura G has been whipping up some banana bread, while Laura Kirk has turned into a cyclist.
And finally, we're debating what activity from our childhood we'd like to resurrect for our time in doors.

It's the last episode of the season, so the perfect time to discuss LK's dreams of 50 Cent, LG's terrifying experience of sleep paralysis, and why we're both still scared of the dark.
We're also pondering why LG hates cooking so much, and remembering the first time LK tried to cook a meal for Winger, featuring frozen chicken fillets and a disasterous cake.

This week we're looking back at the terrible songs we loved to dance to at the disco, from Crazy Frog all the way to the Cha Cha Slide.
We're also remembering the weird and wonderful ways we celebrated our birthdays - while LK was hanging out in the church hall with a load of poisonous reptiles, LG was dancing along with the Funky Chicks and expecting big things from party bags.

We're also remembering all the arduous homework and projects we made our parents help us with - think egg painting competitions, contour islands, and SOHCAHTOA.

Having spent time writing for student newspaper The Tab, Diyora is now famous for her viral twitter threads on the key moments in British culture - think terrible Eastenders acting, cringeworthy Ed Miliband interviews, and Gemma Collins falling through a trap door.
We're discussing the pressures of social media and Imposter Syndrome, as well as Diyora's experience of school, having arrived in the UK from Uzbekistan speaking no English.

In honor of #InternationalWomensDay, we're getting right to the heart of what it means to be a woman - waxing and being told to smile more.
We remember our first experiences of waxing - from the different techniques, to LG's strong opinions on the 'landing strip'. As well as this, we're recounting what it feels like to be on the end of sexist comments in the work place and why the girls in LK’s school weren’t allowed to do Business Studies.

This week, it’s an Anglo-American mashup as LK chats to Mimi Cedrone. Mimi grew up in New England and attended a 5000 pupil High School, so we put to her some of your questions about American High School culture (Where do you buy the red cups from? Why does everyone hang out at their locker? So. Many. Questions.)
Mimi’s also a former cheerleader, so we’re giving her a grilling about Netflix’s new Cheer documentary.
Bonus points if you can work out how we know Mimi!

The 00s were also a golden era for trash TV and we're remembering some of the worst. We debate why The Office is still considered funny today, whilst Little Britain is... not.

We're discussing their favourite nostalgic horror films, as well as exploring what has led to the true crime podcasting boom.
Of course, it woudn't be a real Revisiting episode without also discussing what they were like as teenagers, not forgetting that Hannah was a year above Laura at Berkhamsted School, so we're delving into their memory boxes to find out what Laura K was really like as a teen.

Today, on #NationalSickieDay, it's time for some confessions - the lies we told at school, the lies we tell now, and one particularly large lie told by LG on her CV.
We're also revisiting the worst teachers we encountered at school, from terrible coffee-breath, to those that smoked a pack of cigarettes while making us run around the hockey pitch.

This season, we're reminding ourselves that the 00s weren't all a basket of roses..
First up, love em or hate em, Ugg boots were a huge trend, so we're remembering the cheap ones, the real ones, and everything in between. LK is also off to the hairdresser for a drastic cut, so we're paying tribute to the famous 'Rachel from Friends' haircut, and the many looks of David Beckham.
To celebrate the end of #DryJanuary we're forcing ourselves to relive our worst ever hangover, why we got there, and what we did to try and cure ourselves.

2020 is nearly upon us, so we’re welcoming in the new decade Revisiting style by analysing with a fine tooth comb everything that’s happened over the past 10 years.
We're remembering all things trivial - Gangnam Style and the rise of the humble avocado, to how and if society has changed - from the birth of the Instagram influencer to the impact of Fifty Shades of Grey.
Grab your rose tinted glasses and join us for our last episode of the decade, as we build our very own Revisiting time capsule, full of nonsense from the 2010s.

The Wheel of Nostalgia lands on our favourite Saturday night television - reality TV singing competitions. We're remembering Hear'Say, Darius, Fame Academy, and everything in between.

Nice to e-meet you! This week, we’re deciphering corporate jargon as LK joins the workplace. We’re also talking about the most popular perfumes and aftershaves (or “smellies” as LK calls them) of the mid noughties.
And on the Wheel of Nostalgia, we’re remembering WH Smith for what it did best... smelly gel pens and 7up pencil cases.

The Wheel of Nostalgia this week has landed on.. The Sims! It’s back to 2001 we go as we remember why we loved the escapism of making cartoon people woo woo and burning them to death.

It's a real coming-of-age time in this week's episode, as we're both learning new skills and spending important time on our self development - LK is doing her best to remember GCSE maths as she tries for an internship, and LG has finally mastered the art of rolling a cigarette.
The Wheel of Nostalgia lands on school dinners, so we're remembering a time before Jamie Oliver took away our turkey twizzlers and iced buns.

It’s the start of the new season, and we’re picking up exactly where we left off, in the middle of the summer holidays. While LG has grandiose plans for making the most of her time away from uni, LK is having a mare in a hotel pool.
We’re also spinning our brand new but completely made up Wheel of Nostalgia, and discussing the cultural significance of Now That’s What I Call Music CDs – who knew people still bought them?

In this week’s Berkhamsted Revisits, LG is speaking to writer, model and public speaker Jamie Windust. Jamie is non-binary, which means they use they/them pronouns. We talk about tokenism, being badly treated by corporates and production companies (including a well known panel show wanting Jamie to appear just so they could take the mick), and also get to the bottom of whether they/them pronouns really are – as the Piers Morgan types protest – so grammatically inaccurate.

On this week’s Berkhamsted Revisits, LG talks to short story writer and performance poet, Laura Dockrill (we love a Laura on this show). LD went to Brit school in the 90s and reveals how she became bezzie mates with Adele (who was rockin quite a look at the time), growing up in a squat, and being obsessed with Barry M pots of glitter (weren’t we all). We also talk about the little-known post-partum psychosis, which Laura was treated for following the birth of her first son.

This week on Berkhamsted Revisits, LK is talking to writer and author of Football Cliches, Adam Hurrey. Having grown up watching VHS tapes of football while he lived in Pakistan, Adam has now become the authority on the language we use to talk about football, from the “we've gone quiet lads!” of the Sunday Leagues, to the “top, top, top, players” of the upper echelons of the game.
We're discussing the impact social media has had on the game in recent years, why Arsenal fans are quite so unbearable on Twitter, and all the things about football that make Adam feel nostalgic.

And finally, we're reading your Freshers stories, featuring Glastonbury wristbands, neon pink paint, and a famous pop group from 1997...

We’re also remembering how we tried every technique in the book to make new friends, from buying a door stop to lure people into our rooms, to pestering people in the queue for the cash point.
We’re also reminiscing on bidding our parents an emotional goodbye, or rather, begging them to leave so they wouldn’t cramp our style.

Back in August 2010, Laura K finds herself in hot water with Winger, so we're discussing what constituents cheating, as well as the phenomenon of 'microcheating'. Meanwhile, Laura G is up to her usual tricks - wearing leather, chatting up boys in the smoking area, and unleashing her wittiest banter.
And with university beckoning, Laura K is off to Salamanca in a vague attempt to learn Spanish, so we're chatting about the merits of holidaying alone.

We also have the pleasure of talking to Martin Daubney, the longest-serving editor of Loaded, about his time as 'King of the Lads', and what went on behind the scenes of the magazine.

This week, we're looking back at the magazines we read as teens. From quizzes about which 'emo' we are to some questionable flirting tips, we're devouring the pages of Bliss, Sugar, and The Mizz Guide to Boys.
We're also talking with former Heat magazine editor Sam Delaney on the science of a great cover, threats from lawyers, and why hating on Katie Price was the best way to sell copies.

It’s the start of new the season, and what better way to kick things off than with the nation’s favourite Children’s TV Presenters, Dick and Dom.
This season, we’re taking a temporary break from the diaries to cover everything and anything that you watched, read, or experienced as a teenager, as well as hearing from the people responsible for moulding your coming of age.
This week, we’re talking to Dick and Dom about how they went from being two teenagers without anyone to dance with at the school disco, to being the funniest thing to watch on a Saturday morning. We’re also chatting about how they were inspired by a young (and dishy) Phillip Schofield, and exactly why Dick and Dom in da Bungalow ended when it did…

This week, LG is speaking to comedian Sarah Keyworth about growing up as a girl with no idea of how to act like one. There’s talk of Alexisonfire (throwback), making threading part of school pastoral care, androgyny and gender.
Sarah’s show ‘Dark Horse’ is touring! Before that, there’s an extra show at Soho Theatre on Monday 11th March. Berko’s been and it’s great. Check her website sarahkeyworth.co.uk for dates in Liverpool, Margate, Melbourne, York, Brighton, and Salford. There’s also a Nottingham date pencilled, but Sarah has to tell her Mum first because she wants to bring everyone from the gym.

With school finally out the way, it’s time to pack our bags and head off on the holiday of a lifetime with our pals, and without our parents. This week we’re bringing you the perfect recipe for creating the best lads holiday - matching t-shirts, laughing gas, and booze cruises - as we remember when we joined the thousands of British 18 year olds descending on resorts across the Mediterranean. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, and we loved every minute of it.

With the end of school finally upon us, it's time to celebrate! This week we're talking about the last of the 18th Birthdays, featuring a hummer limo and being refused entry to Oceana Milton Keynes.
Back in Berkhamsted, the 2010 Leavers Yearbook is causing problems with the school, so Laura K forgoes her goodie-goodie tendencies to stand up for the Sixth Form, and Laura G is donning her fingerless leather gloves (again) for Prom.

We're keeping it in the family this week, so our guest on this Berkhamsted Revisits is none other than Laura Kirk's older brother, Andrew.
We're chatting all about Andrew's experiences of growing up in Berkhamsted: juggling being Head Chorister with getting to Sunday football on time, learning the guitar and forming a band to impress the ladies, and getting locked in his room by the German family he was staying with on a choir trip.
We're also finding out why Andrew claims Laura is their parents' favourite child, and if what we've heard about Laura's teenage years on the podcast is 100% accurate...

This week, we're remembering the privileges of being top of the school, like tea and biscuits at break time, and staking your claim for a particular corner of the common room. We're also reading aloud our Personal Statements, and marvelling at the flowery language and grandiose statements that we thought would impress UCAS and the universities.

Now that we've popped our cherries, it's time to get a bit more experimental with lingerie, so we're discussing buying bras from Ann Summers, and considering drastic measures to get bigger boobs...

In this week’s episode of Berkhamsted Revisits, we’re talking to Capital FM presenter and former Berkhamstedian, Roman Kemp. Son of Martin, music was a huge part of his childhood - resulting in an obsession with both Slipknot and 50 Cent in the space of just two years. He now presents the biggest show on radio and even has Justin Bieber on speed dial.
But was he always this cool...?

In this week's episode of Berkhamsted Revisits, we’re talking to actor Louisa Lytton. Despite joining Eastenders before she'd even taken her GCSEs, Louisa's experiences of growing up had all the makings of a normal teenagehood - hanging out on the estate, ranking friends and crushes in her diary, and getting suspended from school for chewing gum. She also talks to us about her time on Strictly Come Dancing, including one particularly memorable night spent with some very famous friends...

After last week's episode about losing our v plates, we received so many emails that we simply had to spend another week talking about this major milestone of teenagehood.
That's why in this week's episode, we're taking a temporary pause from hearing about Winger and life in Berkhamsted, to discuss the eight things we wished we'd learnt before having sex, as inspired by our listeners. From buying condoms in vending machines, to sneaking in a cheeky session before a GCSE exam, these are your stories about losing your virginity.

In the first of our Berkhamsted Revisits specials, we’re talking to Jack Dean, or as he’s more commonly known, YouTuber JaackMaate. We discuss growing up in Norwich and on the internet – building Habbo Hotel empires from your bedroom but breaking down if a girl speaks to you IRL.

This week, we're discussing one of the major teenage milestones: having sex for the first time. Laura Gallop gives us a lesson in the various 'bases', some more intimate than others, and we get to grips with condoms, just.
This is the episode we have been dreading the most – one of us cried, one of us was terrified of bed sperm, and one of us had the motto “if you’ve touched that, you’re not touching me.”

Finally, it's the start of 2009 and with it comes new challenges, like learning how to drive, and deciding what to do with old bouquets of flowers.

Finally, with Laura K still agonising over her feelings for Winger, we're debating why it's so hard to tell someone how you feel, and whether it gets easier with age.

Back at school, we're joining the co-ed vs single sex debate, and remembering what it was like having boys in the classroom.
Finally, we're looking back on our education with a critical eye, reminiscing on all those important things we memorised at school but have never used, and imagining the more useful things we wish we'd been taught.

After 6 weeks of summer spent necking Strongbow in Newquay, it’s GCSE results day. Time to see whether those 150,000 Post-it notes were worth it. At Berkhamsted Revisited, we wondered if our twenty-something maturity and insight would allow us to, naturally, ace the exams we angsted over in our teens. So we sat a GCSE Biology paper, and... well, you can find out how we did in our Results Day Special.

It’s the last episode of the season, and time to bid a fond farewell to Year 11...
First up, we’re discussing Muck Up Day, as those pesky school rules threaten to get in the way of our fun. With GCSEs over, all we want to do is let our hair down and celebrate the end of 6 weeks of exams, but teenage party politics are causing havoc with our plans.
Finally, we’re reflecting on our 16 year old selves, and how much we’ve changed since the dark days of 2005 back in Season 1.

This week, is love in the air, or is it just the usual cocktail of uncontrollable pubescent hormones?
First up, as Laura K gushes about her first boyfriend, we’re wondering whether our teenage selves actually knew what love was. We’re also discussing the rumour mill, and delving into the pressures of not only losing our virginity, but telling our friends all the gory details.
And finally, we’re heading to Italy on the Berkhamsted Ski Trip, spending minimal time skiing, and maximum time drinking the strongest spirits we could lay our hands on.

2007 is nearly over, and if the first week of 2008 is anything to go by, it's going to be a dramatic year.
First up, we're talking about our first kiss, something which came naturally to Laura G but left Laura K a bit confused about the technique. It's also time for a week’s worth of GCSE mocks, but with all the Ben and Celia drama happening in the background, we're mainly discussing the politics of two friends fancying the same guy..
And finally, we're reading out your celebrity encounters, as well as sharing our own memories of a certain Swedish singer.

The Christmas Party season is upon us, and if we’re grown up enough to have WKDs... it's time to face the consequences.
First up, we’re reminiscing about our first hangovers, from feeling slightly queasy, to emergency trips to McDonalds with our parents. It’s also two years since Laura K obsessed over Freddie Flintoff, so we’re reflecting on our biggest secrets.
Finally, it’s time for a Christmas Party at the Kirk household, complete with a living room dance floor, and drunk parents doing the conga.

We’re feeling grown up this week, as we plan for life beyond Year 11 and paint the town red on a Friday night.
Firstly, it’s time for a girls night out, so we’re hitting up Berkhamsted’s newest Indian restaurant which is rumoured to be fairly relaxed when it comes to checking IDs. Back at school, we’re busy trying to choose our A Level subjects without being swayed by the attractiveness of the teacher, or whether any fit boys might also be taking the subject.

First up, we’re discussing fashion. Although we’ve grown out of rara skirts and studded belts, our 2007 wardrobe inspired by Kate Moss for Topshop, is still rightly cringeworthy...
Then it’s half term and Laura K is off to Egypt for a family holiday. Pam Kirk becomes wingman, but not before the classic family airport row.
Finally, it’s another party at Elzzzzy’s house. Two years on and Laura K still isn’t sure about going…

This week, we're facing up to some painful truths about our behaviour, like extreme competitiveness and telling white lies to our friends..
First things first, we find out whether Laura K will have her moment of glory in the House Music Competition. It's also half term in October 2007, and we're off to Belgium on a history trip, swigging our first energy drinks and planning the best souvenirs to bring home to our parents.

MySpace is out, Facebook is in – it’s all change in October 2007.
First on the agenda this week is sex education, and we’re reminiscing about a memorable assembly featuring Powerpoint, diagrams, and cartoon animations. We’re also cringing about our first Hotmail email addresses and remembering a day trip to Brighton - several thousand photos were uploaded to Facebook that day, but none of them of Laura K...

It's the start of Season 2 and the start of a new school year, what could 2007 have in store for us?
This week, we're investigating why Laura stopped writing the diary for 9 months. We're in Year 11 now, which means we're the big kids in town, but with great power comes great responsibility, like organising the House Music competition, and ensuring every Year 7 knew who was boss.
And finally, we're reminiscing about the Duke of Edinburgh award - camping, trying to read a map, and for one of us, a weekly paper recycling job.

With Season 2 just around the corner, we're looking back at our favourite moments from Season 1. Join us for a whistle stop tour of life as a teenager in 2005, featuring MSN Messenger, flirting on MySpace, so many celebrity crushes that we can't keep track, and all the most memorable extracts from Laura's diary.

It's nearly the end of 2006, and with Year 10 in full flow, we're looking back at music in the mid-noughties, from watching it, to making it (badly)...
In the final episode of the season, we're talking about our first gigs, and trying to understand the appeal of a mosh pit. At school, we're remembering music lessons and playing Atomic Kitten in Recorder Club.
Finally, Laura G explains how she was fired from her role as a retail assistant, as we discuss our very first jobs.

It's the new school year, and we're feeling older but evidently not wiser at the start of Year 10!
This week, it's the penultimate episode of the series and we're talking about our favourite days out - like family trips to Bluewater shopping centre, or making our parents drive us all the way to Alton Towers. Back at school, Laura K is facing one of her biggest challenges yet - going to school without any make up on - while Laura G is busy getting a couple of questionable tattoos.
Finally, we're discussing our love-hate relationships with our siblings, as Laura K finds herself forced to hang out with her brother on a school trip to Greece.

It’s the summer time, and we’re feeling fine, showing off our moves in night clubs and prancing down Hemel Hempstead’s finest catwalk.
This week, we’ve left Year 9 behind us and are reminiscing about Under 18s nights at local clubs, and sneaking into Tiger Tiger Croydon. When a modelling competition comes to town, Laura K can’t resist the allure of stardom and enters, with mixed fortunes. Finally, we’re remembering world events beyond the safe haven of Berkhamsted, including Michael Jackson’s trial, and the funeral of the Pope.

With exams out the way for another year, there’s just a few days left of school before that glorious 10 week summer holiday…
This week, we’re journeying back to a time before Netflix, when a Friday night staple was a trip to Blockbuster and begging your parents to let you have popcorn. Back at school, we’re discussing (and singing!) our favourite school hymns, and reminiscing about our most memorable school teachers. Finally, with the summer holidays just around the corner, we’re remembering one of our favourite indoor past times – playing on the Playstation Dancemat.

It’s exam term at Berkhamsted School, and while one of us is trying to revise, the other one is hanging out with a boy in the local library…
This week, we’re talking about the trials and tribulations of exams - from our best revision techniques to the biggest mistakes we made under pressure. We look back at school sports day, which was the perfect opportunity to both mingle with the boys and show-off some neat javelin-throwing skills. And we remember the first time we dabbled with fake tan, with considerably mixed success..

It’s now 2006, and we’re trying to remember what we actually learnt from our education…
Join us this week as we look back at life during school, from cooking strange recipes in Food Tech to trying to flirt with boys on school trips. Everyone who is anyone is busy designing the coolest MySpace layout and counting their pic comments, and we’re discussing an absolute staple of teenage-hood – smoking.

The winter of 2005 is upon us, and as Laura begins Year 9, life starts to feel that little bit tougher…
This week, we’re discussing dealing with change, and asking ourselves if we are happier now, or when we were at school. Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire has hit cinemas, and while most teenage girls are pining for Robert Pattinson’s Cedric Diggory, another actor takes Laura’s eye. Finally, we’re talking about seasonal affective disorder, just as the memories of those long summer days are beginning to fade…

It's finally the summer in 2005 - just what did we do with all that free time?
Join us this week as we discuss summer holidays and trying to chase our teenage dreams, the best (and worst) fashion trends that 2005 had to offer, and returning to school in September, gripped by dreams of a certain English cricketer.

It’s almost summer in 2005, and Laura Kirk is still writing her diary...
This week, we’re looking back at life before the iPhone, and the complicated nuances of communicating via MSN Messenger. With the summer term at Berkhamsted school in full swing, we reflect upon a Year 7 & 8 production of George Orwell’s Animal Farm, and finally reminisce about an attractive young lifeguard breaking teenage hearts on a Portuguese beach.

In a bedroom in Berkhamsted, a 13-year-old Laura Kirk writes her very first diary entry. Join us this week as we start our journey down memory lane, dissecting and discussing the social politics of Year 8 parties, militant lacrosse teachers, the power of the humble Chupa Chup, and life-consuming obsessions with Z-list celebrities.
