How to Break into the Elite

● DOCUMENTARY / 9pm / BBC2

NEW

BBC Media Editor Amol Rajan

wants to know how hard it is for

working-class graduates to break into the

professions of law, banking and media. He

follows a group of students to see why,

despite their degrees from top universities,

the companies they aspire to work for

aren’t snapping them up. The stats

regarding social mobility are pretty

depressing – in fact, without contacts, a

private education and a bucketload of

confidence, it seems virtually impossible

to get an interview, never mind a job. So

then how did Amol – a lower middle-class,

state-educated kid – do it? He meets up

with talk-show host and DJ Matthew Wright,

who gave him his first big break in media,

to find out why he stood out. HHHHJL

she gets to know her birth family. HHHHJP
