BBC Two - Dead Poets Society

Robin Williams stars as an unconventional English teacher who inspires pupils with poetry.

At an exclusive American prep school in the late 1950s, the arrival of an unconventional English teacher changes the lives of a group of young students.

Drama featuring Robin Williams as an unconventional English teacher and his ultimately questionable impact on an elite Vermont boys' academy.

John Keating blows into the stuffy halls of the academy like a breath of fresh air, startling colleagues and delighting boys with his disdain for traditional teaching methods and text books. But the seeds of rebellion he sows have far-reaching effects that he never intended.

Knowledge, drama, comedy and the arts for a broad adult audience.

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.
