Superb drama concerning the activities in a Cambridge college. Both David Jason and the wonderful Ian Richardson are excellent as the men with totally opposing views on college practises. The sub plot involving Zipser and his obsession with his bedder creates a more lighthearted side to this drama. The mood darkens as the story unfolds, with the last 2 episodes in particular showing some very sad, moving and grim scenes.
