Plots(1)
James McAvoy is Brian Jackson, a wide-eyed working class kid whose exhaustive grasp of general knowledge leaves him wanting when it comes to women. On his way to achieving his long held ambition to appear on University Challenge, he falls in love with fellow student and team-mate Alice, has his conscience pricked (as well as other things) by rights activist Rebecca, and all whilst trying not to become the student w***er that his hometown mates think he'll turn into!
