About this programme:

A photo shows ten teenagers standing in an Oxford quad wearing exquisitely tailored tailcoats, ready for a night of fine dining and drinking. Among them, are two men who would go on to be the most powerful Conservative politicians in the country: Boris Johnson and David Cameron - the Mayor of London and the man many think will be the next Prime Minister. But how has their shared past at Eton and Oxford, where they were both members of elite drinking society the Bullingdon Club, prepared them for high office in 21st century Britain? When Boris Met Dave is a 90 minute docu-drama looking at the Oxford of the mid-eighties. Revealing new interviews with Johnson and Cameron's contemporaries and current political commentators are interspersed with witty and irreverent dramatic scenes inspired by their recollections.
