Did anyone watch this drama doc about the true story of the man who re-enrolled in his old school pretending to be 16 when he was actually 32. Really worth watching - fascinating and and also very funny

It's on my list. I didn't see it last night ,but have recorded it (which I do so I don't forget what to look out for on catchup).

It was very entertaining. I wonder how he thought that he would get away with it? Even if he did manage to get into medicine which seems very unlikely now, no-one would be able to trust him, would they? Ultimately, rather sad.

I remember when this was on the news. I didn't watch the film though as I can't stand Alan Cummings.
Incredible story.

Don’t let disliking Alan Cummings put you off watching it Aveline, he wasn’t a dominant feature, and was using the words of Brian/Brendan. It’s really worth seeing for the insights from the others that were are school with him, and the teachers, it’s one of the most fascinating stories I’ve seen on TV for ages, and very cleverly done.
