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.
Brian navigates the sharp class divide of 1980s academia while chasing a spot on a prestigious televised quiz team. This underdog tale balances intellectual ambition with the messy, heartfelt realities of young love and social belonging.
