Since the series ended, I had a great summer and then I started at Exeter University.
At Exeter. I'm studying politics and philosophy.
I'm now at university in New York. I go to NYU.
So, I'm on my gap year at the moment.
Currently, I'm studying chemistry, biology, calculus and Marcel Proust.
University next year, so I'm reapplying well now basically.
I'm studying economics and finance, which I really enjoy. It's really good fun.
When you're at Harrow, it's like really prescriptive. Like it's like be here at this time. Sport
after. Lessons. You've got bill and stuff, like it's all really quite prescriptive and
here, it's like the complete opposite, which I guess is good in some respects.
And then I'm heading off to Australia to work in an accounting firm for three, four months.
I had a look at America and NYU looked great. The courses they offered seemed interesting.
The facilities looked fantastic, and so I figured America was a good bet for me.
I'll travel around there, see the sights there and then fly off to Texas, Houston and work
in an accounting firm or an IT firm.
It's good on the basis that I can find myself doing a chemistry major with a creative writing
minor, and that's a perfectly acceptable sort of course of action to take.
People come into your room as they please. It's quite chill. I don't really mind. I haven't
had any privacy for the last five years being at Harrow.
Love the people I've met, and everything's going really well.
I was like a kid in a candy store. I was like oh my God, I can do all these different things.
It was cool to see yourself on TV, if not a bit cringe at some points.
I don't know. It was odd. It's a very odd experience.
Well, the first time I actually saw myself it was the back of my head so I was a bit...
I wasn't too intimidated by that, but once you started seeing I started seeing myself
in interviews and things, it was quite weird.
The weird thing is, and maybe that's why it didn't really hit me. My family... We're sort
of like cavemen. Um so, I didn't actually have Sky. So when it was actually... Everyone
was like oh it's being aired tonight, and I was like great for you, like enjoy the show.
Not many people get that opportunity to relive their upper sixth year, so it was an interesting
opportunity.
I don't know quite how to react.
We had warnings like there might be quite a lot of attention. I didn't really pay that
any mind because when you're there in the process like obviously when you're filming,
it's basically just like being at school.
Yeah, it was weird to see so much love on Twitter. Like so many people sort of saying
how they're all watching it, how it was their favourite show at the moment. I wasn't expecting
that at all.
I try to be level headed about it and try not to spend all my time looking at my Twitter
feed on my phone.
They seem to like Hugh and the other Henry quite a lot actually. They seem to be the
fan favourites, so I don't blame them. They're a couple of good looking cats right there.
It was weird seeing so many people watch it, and they were all saying really nice things.
There equally could have been any number of trolls or people just sort of having a go
at Harrow boys.
I was expecting a lot of hate from that show, but it was good.
It means a lot to me, I guess, because it's just nice to know that someone watched it
and enjoyed it.
I never really experienced that before, but it was a very odd feeling, but it was a nice
feeling. It was nice to see so much support.
Just miss the friendly community in West Acre, matron, Mr. Smith.
The people in West Acre, living there within ten metres of them the whole time for five
years then suddenly not seeing them. It's weird... I miss the people. I'd say I miss
the people more than anything else.
The big thing that I miss is the music to some extent. I hope Mr. Woodcock approves
of that.
Definitely miss being busy and doing sport and music and all of that.
The music was very important to me at Harrow, and I'm sad to see it go. I never really get
the opportunity to sing that much here.
Whenever I see the buildings I'm like oh wow, I take them for granted when you're at Harrow.
What you're doing is you're learning to live with people, and maybe some people you think
of as brothers. Maybe some people you're really great friends with.
We do fall out sometimes. I'm not going to lie, but that's usually like... It's not so
much now that we're not in such close proximity.
Yeah, there was always. There were always some fallings out. There's bound to be when
you put that many human beings in one building.
Everyone sort of works it out in the end. It's just being that close to people for such
a long time.
You almost become brothers by the end of it. I mean, you're so, you're so attached to everyone
in your house just from, just from the fact that you do live in the same building.
But relatively few dramas happen. I think it would be a lot worse at a girl's school.
Yeah, you make friends outside, but perhaps the strongest ones are in the house and that's
always going to happen when you are with people the whole time and going to sports together.
You talk to people all over your year really in all different houses, but I'd say the closest
relationships, the majority of your closest relationships, were in house.
A new tradition at Harrow. God, there are quite a few already.
Quite difficult to choose a tradition to create because obviously they're formed, they sort
of form themselves over hundreds of years.
Where you have everyone together and you like unveil... I just imagine this, like unveil
like a giant sort of poster of Mr. Smith.
Maybe tails the whole year round.
Make the headmaster run cross country once a year with everybody else.
People would probably get fed up with that.
Yeah, take that Jim Hawkins. The headmaster has to run long ducker.
From the perspective of being at uni now on having that freedom, I'd say give them some
of that freedom, you know like they deserve that having there for five years. Make that
into a tradition.
You should've warned me about this half an hour ago.
Did you just see me flip someone off in the camera?
Harrovians are not these weird alien people from some far off class.
Oh yeah, I've got like... Alright guys, seriously go away.
I think they just listen to me talk and just don't give a damn what I actually say.
Hey. How are you?
I made a lot of friends... Sorry hair's bothering me.
