BBC 1 Documentary 'Going Up': a personal look at being a new boy in a old University by Sir Antony Jay.
Produced for BBC TV by Ramsay Short.
Shown on BBC 1 on 31 August 1976.
Duration: 49.35 minutes
Footage: 4648 on 35 mm
Accompanying script: 20 pages (the marked portions were for re-transmission in another programme in 1979).

Antony Jay chose Magdalene as the location for his film since he was himself an undergraduate here (Matric. 1948), but unfortunately scenes from the St John's May Ball were misleadingly tagged on to the end.
Apart from the Master, the following Fellows appeared: D.W. Babbage, R.F. Bennett, N. Boyle, T.E.B. Howarth.
The Porter with the lines was Cyril Plumb, towards the end of his 51 years in the job.

The film focussed on three undergraduates 'coming up' as freshmen in October 1975:
M.C. Allen, J.P.C. Rham and N.S.W. Williams, chosen to represent three different types of school: public school (Allen), independent day school (Williams), and comprehensive (Rham); and reading Mathematics, History and Modern Languages respectively.
The Governing Body accepted the film as on the whole a fair representation.
