When the producers of the acclaimed TV cop show The Wire were looking for an actor to play tough, Irish-American detective Jimmy Mc Nulty, they cast an Old Etonian, Dominic West. And when the time came to find a man to play the grouchy, tortured but brilliant Dr Gregory House in the hit U. medical drama House, the role went to Hugh Laurie who is, I need hardly say, an Old Etonian.
The final events of the day were the tutorial, where we got to speak to other Etonians with drinks and food, followed by prayers which was a relatively informal affair which included a chilli eating contest!
We arrived just before lunch, were greeted by our Etonian counterparts (who were heading to Beauchamp), and took a quick tour around some of the nearby buildings.

Until recently popstrel Ellie Goulding was in a relationship with Bobby Rich, a Judo champion who was David and Victoria Beckham's bodyguard.
Before that, Ellie enjoyed an on-off two-year relationship with Mc Fly star Dougie Poynter before the pair split in 2016, citing their globe-trotting schedules as the cause.
The pop stars triggered rumours of a reunion when they were spotted partying together two days before the 2017 BRIT awards.
During the same week six of our students have spent a week at Eton College and have been immersed into life in a boarding school.
