## Description

A BBC comedy drama set in the world of a " pile 'em high university". Karen Poynter is the new head of the Geography Department - renamed Geographical Tourism - at Hayborough University, which is definitely not part of the elite Russell Group of top universities. Ranked 132nd in the UK academic league table; if you have a pulse, you can have a degree. This is the high energy farce of the breeze block and grotty cafeteria, with all the endless meetings, the backstabbings and the sheer panic of a university setting. In an era of increasing fees and cutbacks, this satire has become all the more acute. Starring Sophie Thomson ( Four Weddings and a Funeral, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 1, Coronation Street ) as Karen, with Jonathan Keeble ( War and Peace ) as the venal Dean.
