Synopsis

It's 1985; Thatcher's in power, The Cure are In Between Days and Marty McFly's trying to get Back To the Future. James McAvoy is Brian Jackson, a wide-eyed working class kid whose exhaustive grasp of general knowledge leaves him wanting when it comes to women. On his way to achieving his long held ambition to appear on University Challenge, he falls in love with fellow student and team-mate Alice (Alice Eve); has his conscience pricked (as well as other things) by rights activist Rebecca (Rebecca Hall); all whilst trying not to become the student w@*£er that his hometown mates think he'll turn into!
