In 1985, against the backdrop of Thatcherism, Brian Jackson enrolls in the University of Bristol, a scholarship boy from seaside Essex with a love of knowledge for its own sake and a childhood spent watching University Challenge, a college quiz show. At Bristol he tries out for the Challenge team and falls under the spell of Alice, a lovely blond with an extensive sexual past.
A charmingly earnest, witty British comedy about a bright young man navigating university life, intellectual pursuits, and budding romance amidst the political fervor of the 80s. It's a feel-good journey of self-discovery and youthful idealism.
