You think he's joking? , 19 August 2004
  • A Very Peculiar Practice
  • A Very Peculiar Practice - Disc 1 (1986)
    Starring: Peter Davison,  David Troughton,  Barbara Flynn
    Director: David Tucker
    Certificate: Certificate: TBC
    Anyone who has ever worked in a redbrick university will immediately recognise the world of Andrew Davies' rapier-sharp satire on modern British university culture.
    The wilderness of brutal concrete buildings (the exteriors were shot at Keele), the vicious infighting and turf wars among academics who are supposed to be colleagues, the demoralised, ground-down staff trying to do their best with a constantly-rising amount of bureaucracy, interference and massive pressure to publish at all costs.
    An all-time classic of TV drama. Davies admits on the commentary that a few characters were based more or less directly on people he had worked with at Warwick, and I can well believe it. The only part of this series which has aged is the wardrobe - the rest is as true today as it was back in the eighties.   11 out of 11 people found this review helpful
