Additional Information
A group of history pupils at a boysÆ grammar school in Sheffield pursue a place at Oxford or Cambridge, where they are subjected to contrasting styles of teaching. Adapted from Alan BennettÆs (THE MADNESS OF KING GEORGE) immensely successful play of the same name, THE HISTORY BOYS focuses on the experiences of eight history students at a grammar school in northern England in the mid 1980s as they attempt to get a place at the top two universities in the country; Oxford and Cambridge. The headmaster of the school is keen to send as many of his pupils to Oxbridge as possible and employs supply teacher Irwin (Stephen Campbell Moore, BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS) to teach them the tricks of trade concerning how to get into Oxford or Cambridge. This style of teaching is contrasted sharply with that of the boysÆ eccentric and maverick English teacher Hector (Richard Griffiths, WITHNAIL AND I) and the facts and figures based teaching style of their history teacher Mrs Linnott (Frances De La Tour, HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE). THE HISTORY BOYS primarily focuses on the state of the education system in the 1980s and what the teenage boys learn about life, love and education along the way and succeeds in being a hugely entertaining film about growing up and the different approaches to life one can take.

    Arrived later than estimated & no response from the seller when inquiry was made . However it's arrived today only after I had requested a cancellation of the order & the item was then posted on the same day . Great value for money & condition was has stated . Unfortunately this recent purchase has put me off buying from the seller again . Shame really when what could have been a good buying experience became a worry . A five star feedback was worth the item bought .

    The three words explain it all...

    One of my all time favourite films...This is my second copy,as I loaned out the first one..They loved it,so I told them to keep it... Must have watched it 20 times,but still see little things I missed in previous view.. I just love everything about this production...Actors,story,set.. My only regret is I didn't see it on the London stage,although I did see a touring version,which was excellent. Alan Bennett at his best

    Witty and moving

    Alan Bennett as always provides a very thought-provoking view on life with lots of fun and poignancy on the way. The acting is excellent and it is a strong cast - well known figures and most of the 'boys' have become well known since the film was made. Very nostalgic for any one who had anything to do with Sheffield in the 1980s or education.

    Worth your time

    Such a good storyline although it is sad at times. We’ve all been through a form of education so it’s easy to identify with some of the themes. Fun spotting young actors who are now more established.

    DVD well packed in padded bag but the disc surface had some light scratches so it wasn't really VGC.
