Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })For as long as he can remember, working class Southender Brian Jackson has craved knowledge and dreamed of going to university- and ultimately, appearing on University Challenge. He finally achieves all of these things when, against everyone's expectations (including his own), he is accepted at The University of Bristol and makes the 1985 University Challenge team. With things going so well for Brian, what could go wrong?The film is based on the novel of the same name by David Nicholls and was directed by Tom Vaughan.

Adaptational Job Change: In the book, Brian's mother works at Woolworths; in the movie, she works at a shoe shop.

Anachronistic Soundtrack: The movie takes place in 1985, yet we hear The Cure's "Pictures of You" and "Lovesong" (the latter is played during the end credits) which were released in 1989 on the album Disintegration.

Dumb Blonde: Subverted with Alice, who makes the team. Still an achievement even if Brian helped her out a bit.

The '80s: Takes place in 1985 and 1986, with a very '80s soundtrack to complement it.
