The Class of '62 is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls within the episode genre and follows the conventions of a scripted broadcast, offering viewers a self‑contained story centred on a particular set of characters. The format is designed to deliver a narrative within broadcast slot, allowing the plot to unfold without extending into a longer series. In this instalment, the character Del receives an invitation to attend a school reunion. The gathering is arranged to be held at the Nag's Head, a local public house that serves as a familiar backdrop for community events. By convening former classmates in this setting, the episode creates a natural occasion for the characters to reconnect and for past interactions to surface. The reunion is organised by Roy Slater, an individual with whom Del has a long‑standing history of antagonism. Slater, portrayed by Jim Broadbent, has recently emerged from a period of incarceration, a circumstance that adds an undercurrent of tension to the proceedings. His involvement as the host of the event brings his contentious past with Del into focus, influencing the atmosphere of the gathering. The juxtaposition of a convivial school reunion with the presence of an erstwhile foe creates a scenario where old grievances and current circumstances intersect in a venue. As the characters converge at the Nag's Head, the episode examines how longstanding relationships are reshaped under these conditions, highlighting the ways in which past rivalries can reappear when former classmates gather once more.
