The History Boys

Witty and well-acted screen adaptation of Alan Bennett's acclaimed stage play, following the lives of eight grammar school pupils being prepared for University entrance exams. However, they are torn between the contrasting educational styles of two very different teachers - the intellectually enthusiastic Hector, who seeks to instill a love of knowledge for its own sake, and new arrival Irwin, who intends to provide them with the specific information they need to get ahead. Starring Richard Griffiths, Stephen Campbell Moore and Frances de la Tour
