Nigel Barton, an Oxford undergraduate son of a coalminer, as he divides his time between his provincial, working-class home village and his toff filled academic term time address, comes to realise that he no longer belongs in either world, in Potter’s adventurous and generally quite wonderful autobiographical contribution to the BBC’s The Wednesday Play series.
