The Glittering Prizes

This acclaimed British miniseries focuses on a group of 1950s-era Cambridge University students in their idealistic college days and follows them as they graduate into a world of social upheaval and personal struggle in the decades that follow. Each finds his or her expectations sharply curtailed as they gain or lose their sought-after "glittering prize." Nigel Havers, Tom Conti, Angela Down, John Gregg and Barbara Kellerman star.
