Lowlands University is a swamp of fear and loathing. A showpiece Sixties campus looking increasingly anachronistic in the paranoid, profit-driven Eighties, it is staffed by angst-ridden academics desperate to hang onto their privileged status amid swingeing cutbacks.

  • Classic dark comedy of the Thatcher period

    Peter Davison, David Troughton, Barbara Flynn and Graham Crowden were born to play their roles in this short series, short in the sense that it ran to only to only 14 episodes plus a TV movie sequel. Anyone who enjoyed the 1980s wouldn't have been a student at Lowlands University, a souless concrete jungle of buildings populated by sick students and mildly insane lecturers. Who can forget the pair of nuns? Highly recommended for discerning viewers. The transfer is satisfactory and there are a couple of commentaries which provide interesting information on the production.

  • Blast from the past. So many well known actors and actresses.

    Partly due to the era it was made in and the characters, this brings back memories...

  • Pretty well acted by all players

    Always found this highly risqué at the time; has it's moments, even now. The absence of swearing, just a good script, is refreshing, too.

  • Great Characters

    Loved the series but was disappointed it didn’t include more extras as it only included two commentaries.
