Will James get his PhD? - VIVA
Viva day for James Clewett - the oral examination to decide if he gets a PhD and becomes Dr Clewett. More about James's work and story at: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeaKaAcimVK3tyCR6ugbA4Yx7eaP0MIoX
We were very lucky to have cameras in the room - but there was a "no audio" condition. This is because recording a viva was new territory and there were concerns about affecting the all-important exam. Maybe next time? ;)
James also asked me to clarify his fear of the "Russian Professor" was because: "As we know from Landau and Liftshitz.... Russian mathematicians have a reputation for rigour."
Test Tube is a project by video journalist Brady Haran for the University of Nottingham.

Additional filming in this video by James Hennessy.
With thanks to the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham.
