Hi everyone, I listened to a fantastic BBC radio drama in which Juliet Stevenson plays a headteacher who mentors a young working class student and help her apply to Oxford.

It was so touching and raw because the student comes back and tells the headteacher she was spoon fed to get into Oxford and she doesnt have the broader skills and knowledge to survive in that environment....I can't remember the name and I have tried searching. Did anyone else listen to this?

When did you listen to it and on what channel? I find searching the schedules helps locate the programme (I often have to search as I may only hear part of an interesting programme on the school run).

Hi Bucks, I can't remember exactly, I think it was at least 7 years ago. I tried searching on the BBC radio page and on Juliet Stevenson web pages, it was such a good drama!

I presume you've looked at her Wikipedia page? There is a list of her radio performances there, although I can't see anything that would match. Could it have been someone else?

That makes it tricky! I am guessing you can't remember any more details if it was that long ago and IMDB doesn't seem to list radio appearances.
