Campus: pilot preview
Thanks to forum member Tormented Space for finding this great review of Campus, which also gives us some more broadcast information. According to the article the 7 pilot showcase begins on Channel 4 at 10 pm on November 6th 2009.
Joseph's character is a is lecherous literature lecturer called Matthew Beer.
Campus How many misfits does it take to run a university? Should this question ever pop up in the miscellaneous round of a pub quiz somewhere in Weirdchester, you’ll be grateful for having watched Campus, the new show conceived by Victoria Pile and the team behind Green Wing and Smack The Pony. At the show’s heart is chief misfit Jonty de Wolfe. Played by Andy Nyman, the megaphone-wielding, peppermint tea-sipping Vice Chancellor turns kooky, quirky and crass up to eleven.
Joseph Millson (Casino Royal) is lecherous literature lecturer Matthew Beer, and Dolly Wells (Star Stories) takes a marvellous turn as a behind-the-scenes worker nicknamed “the big shit” as a schoolgirl. “Because I was a big shit,” she explains, “and also because I do big shits.” Campus is set in the fictitious Kirke University and looks every bit the “ensemble comedy”. The camerawork is jittery without irritating, and the writers have conjured a veritable symphony of comic characters.
On the evening the show was introduced with no little wryness as “not the Green Wing set in a university.” Derivative? Perhaps. But I’d be happy to watch the Green Wing set anywhere, thanks very much.
