The History Man

The History Man is a four-part 1981 British television drama miniseries written by Christopher Hampton, based on Malcolm Bradbury's 1975 novel of the same title. Ardently left-wing, or so it seems, Howard Kirk subtly extends his power over students and colleagues alike at a redbrick university.

Created by: Christopher Hampton

Cast: Antony Sher, Geraldine James, Jonathan Bruton, Charlotte Enderby, Isla Blair, Laura Davenport, Paul Brooke, Veronica Quilligan
