Drama Now: The English Department

on BBC Radio 3

A radio comedy for graduates by Jonathan Raban.
With David Buck as Gavin Trotman, Stephen Murray as Alec Grace

Trotman: 'Pass. P. Sans honour of any kind. By the way, I think Griffith's mark may be affected when he hears that Arkell can't even spell "Leavis". In his Lawrence answer he dropped the A throughout.'
The tutors of a provincial university are gathered round a conference table to decide the final degrees of their students, Running the moderns course is the cynical and promiscuous Trotman.
