Public School: 8: 'You're so close to Eton... you can beat them'

on BBC Two England

Ten films set in one of Britain's top boarding schools for boys.

Radley College has a reputation for producing first-class oarsmen and race-winning crews. The school's commitment to preserving this reputation is huge, both in time and in money. But 79 is not a vintage year. As the day of the prestigious National Schools Regatta approaches, the Radley First VIII coach is a worried man. His crew is not fast enough.

But deliverance is at hand. An Old Radleian arrives at the College looking for a job. He is no less than ex-Olympic oarsman Tim Crooks, and his expertise could just tilt the balance.
