Overview
"Cups and cups of coffee and talk, talk, talk" - that's life for the students of Leeds University in the 1960s. In one of the softer-hitting editions of the topical TV series This Week, student Roger Ellis, a serious young man, gives an insight into the benefits of a university education. There's also an inside look at the application process, some of the extra-curricular activities on offer, and discussion of the large-scale expansion of universities across the country.
