The History Boys (15)

Under the tutelage of eccentric history teacher Hector and history mistress Mrs Lintott, eight boys strive for a place at Oxford or Cambridge, until a new teacher Irwin arrives, proposing a completely new approach to study. Their allegiances torn between Hector and Irwin, the boys – Akthar, Crowther, Dakin, Lockwood, Posner, Rudge, Scripps and Timms – become pawns in a game of intellectual one-upmanship, where a place at university is the ultimate prize.
