Campus (2011) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 2011, Campus is a comédie series.

What it’s about. Campus is a semi-improvised British sitcom created by Robert Harley, James Henry, Oriane Messina, Gary Parker, Victoria Pile, Richard Preddy, Fay Rusling, and Christian Sandino-Taylor, with Pile acting as co-writer, producer, and director. At the fictitious Kirke University, the lives of the staff are explored, particularly the power-crazed and callous vice chancellor Jonty de Wolfe, lazy womanising English literature professor Matt Beer, and newly promoted senior mathematics lecturer Imogen Moffat. The series was initially broadcast as a pilot on Channel 4 on 6 November 2009, part of the Comedy Showcase season of comedy pilots. A full series commenced on 5 April 2011, with the first episode being a reshot and expanded pilot. Many critics claimed it was too similar to Green Wing and that much of the humour was offensive. However, others praised the dark humour and surrealism. It was ultimately cancelled after one series due to poor ratings.

Who’s in it. Campus stars Andy Nyman as Jonty De Wolfe, Lisa Jackson as Imogen Moffat, Sara Pascoe as Nicole Huggins and Dolly Wells as Lydia Tennant, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.2/10, Campus has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
