First Degree

First Degree was a 9 part drama series made by BBC Wales which aired in 2002. The series followed the lives, trials and tribulations of students in the fictional Bay College, one of several hi-tech media schools owned and run by an enigmatic entrepreneur based in Sacramento, California known only as The Founder. A Big Brother-style virtual eye roves to every corner of the campus 24 hours a day, tracking student movements, while lecturers control their destinies by hatching underhand plots.
