Room at the Top (2012 film)

Room at the Top is a 2012 BBC television adaptation by Amanda Coe of John Braine's 1957 novel of the same name, with a cast led by Matthew McNulty, Maxine Peake and Jenna Coleman, and directed by Aisling Walsh.

It aired in two parts on 26 and 27 September 2012 on BBC Four,[1] but was originally due to premiere on 7 April 2011. A statement at the time said that delay was due to "a potential contractual issue",[2] and it later emerged that another film company challenged the sale of the television rights to Great Meadow Productions, which produced the film for BBC.[3] It won a BAFTA Award for Best Miniseries in 2013.[4]
