Nightingale's Boys - The Complete Series

Nightingale’s Boys shows what happens when a master at a northern grammar school, Bill ‘Tweety’ Nightingale, tries to organise a reunion with the boys of the ‘star’ class of his career: the 1949 sixth form. Nearing retirement and aware that his gifts are fading, Bill fondly regards the class as the high point of his career, and now hopes to recapture some of its alchemy; as this seven-part series unfolds, we see just how the likely lads of ’49 turned out – and whether Bill is doomed to disillusion.
