The premise

Here’s the bit.

A flashy crime-film trailer follows Danny and Lenny through a black market in academic qualifications. They rob a vice-chancellor, sell cut-price degrees and flee an admissions crackdown, before a prestigious doctorate leaves them wondering how to find a buyer.

    Danny

    All right, Vice-Chancellor, no saucy moves and you won't get hurt. Where do you keep your robes?

  2. 00:13

    Speaker 1

    In the safe, through the door.

  3. 00:14

    Lenny ?

    Keys.

  4. 00:23

    Danny ?

    Over your gym jams, Vice-Chancellor.

  5. 00:28

    Speaker 1

    You can have anything you want. Just don't hurt my family. You can have a first.

  6. 00:32

    Danny

    Nothing flashy, you tart. I want a 2-1 in classical civilisation.

  7. 00:37

    Lenny

    And I want something more vocational.

  8. 00:40

    Speaker 1 ?

    Martin!

  9. 00:43

    Danny

    I've got knock-down joint honours from Aberystwyth. Nothing flashy gets you on the management course.

  10. 00:49

    Speaker 2

    This is Danny. He always had a better idea than working for a living. He knocks off dodgy qualifications round the back of the University of North London. That used to be a poly.

  11. 01:00

    Lenny

    Danny! Move it, it's UCAS!

  12. 01:10

    Speaker 2

    This is his mate, Lenny. Not too bright, but he's got an honorary doctorate from the University of Vancouver. Coover. Don't ask him where he got it though.

  13. 01:19

    Danny ?

    They're only sitting in guilds!

  14. 01:27

    Speaker 2

    Trouble is, it's all very well holding up a comprehensive for a bunch of GCSEs, but sooner or later you're going to get a little bit greedy.

  15. 01:37

    Speaker 1 ?

    How do you echo Te Valko's baccalaureate?

  16. 01:42

    Speaker 2

    And when that happens, you might just find you've bitten off more than you can chew.

  17. 01:48

    Danny ?

    Fucking hell! This is a PhD in political science from Trinity College Dublin!

  18. 02:00

    Lenny ?

    How the hell are we going to fence that?

  19. 02:03

    Speaker 2

    From the director of Vagina, the greatest heist movie since Educating Rita, Ons, Dons and Two Smoking M.A. Ox-Ons.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
