🎬 "Educating Rita" (1983) is a Pygmalion-ish comedy starring and as a Lit. Professor who loves his drinks and a working-class hairdresser looking to improve her lot in life. Each was awarded 1984 Awards for their performances.

Has anyone here done a Computing degree with ? More specifically, has anyone started in year 3? I have credit from previous study that is eligible for transfer but am a while out of formal education - doing some research at the mo to see if I’ll once again be biting off more than I can chew
