One Pair of Eyes — Season 1, Episode 18: Kenneth Tynan: A Taste of Privilege

Episode synopsis

"My generation was liberated by Oxford: but it also confined us and marked us for life. Nothing has ever topped the exhilaration and privilege I felt then. Today's Oxford is like a ghost university, full of usurpers and tourists, simply decor against which to be happily young." With some of his contemporaries: The Rt. Hon. Anthony Wedgwood Benn, M.P., Robin Day, Alan Brien, John Wain, Alan Beesley, Tony Richardson.
