Screen Two: The Last Romantics

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A new BBC film from director Jack Gold, written by Nigel Williams, starring Ian Holm, Sara Kestelman, Leo McKern
1960s: a Cambridge University don is coming to the end of his turbulent career. His last student arrives, bringing with him a disturbing threat. This powerful story of love and betrayal is based on real-life characters.
Ian Holm says that Leavis was apparently "an extremely dynamic and controversial character with an acid tongue, who fought against the Establishment. He wasn't a popular man."
