The History Man (1981)

3.6 | Jan 04, 1981 (GB) | Drama

Adapted from the novel by Malcolm Bradbury

The History Man is a four-part 1981 British television drama miniseries written by Christopher Hampton, based on Malcolm Bradbury's 1975 novel of the same title. Ardently left-wing, or so it seems, Howard Kirk subtly extends his power over students and colleagues alike at a redbrick university.
