1 [Nurse talking to camera] This is usually our busiest time of year at the centre 2 [Show a sign outside a medical institution reading:] Centre for Adults Who Still Can’t Get Their Heads Round Daylight Savings 3 NURSE: We have a spike in admissions when BST starts 4 CONFUSED PATIENT BEING LAID DOWN BY NURSES: Is it forward or back? NURSE: Lie down love 5 We often see the same patients ever year PATIENT: So it’s like… time travel? DOCTOR: No 6 Every year we try to explain BST to them in a fun and memorable way [The patients are sat around a fun show, with people dressed in bunny suits jumping around a giant clock] BUNNY: And now I *spring forward*... 7 [Bunny springs forward one hour on clock] 8 PATIENT WATCHING SHOW: I don’t get it 9 The hardest patients are the Summer Time refusers 10 PATIENT [sat strapped to a chair as a doctor talks to him through a screen, through a tannoy] PATIENT: But why is it better? DOCTOR [talking through microphone]: Because it complicates things. 11 PATIENT: How is that good? DOCTOR: It makes you more tired. 12 DOCTOR [to assistant]: Fetch the cattle prod

I hate the clocks changing because it makes me feel stupid
