Line 70:
* [[Chariots of Fire]]: One of the main characters starts his running career competing in the Trinity Court Great Run studying at Cambridge.
* [[Porterhouse Blue]]: Set in a fictional Cambridge college. Which is not Peterhouse, at all.
* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S17 E6/E06 Shada|Shada]]" is set at St Cedd's College, a fictional Cambridge college, and was filmed in Cambridge. It was written by Cambridge alumnus [[Douglas Adams]], who also used it in his novel ''[[Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency]]''. In the forward to ''Dirk Gently'' he notes that elements of it are based loosely on his own college, St John's, as well as other colleges. St Cedd's appears in the second episode of the ''[[Dirk Gently (TV series)|Dirk Gently]]'' TV series.
** Makes sense, since they're basically the same thing.
** Ian and Barbara are revealed to have become Cambridge professors.
