Student's A-level shock: 'Something's gone wrong'

A student who opened his A-level results live on air was shocked to discover he did not get the results he expected.

Dhillon Lalji, 18, from Luton, opened his results on BBC Three Counties Radio at Luton Sixth Form College and found he had been awarded A in Maths, A in French and B in Politics.

He was hoping for three A's - but he has still been accepted at the University of Oxford, where he will read Politics, Philosophy and Economics.

After opening the result envelope, he said: "Oh, that's not what I was expecting".

"I'm inclined to believe something has actually gone wrong there," he told the BBC reporter.

Mr Lalji left the interview to go and check if he got the university place he wanted and later returned with the news that he had.

He said: "I'm so happy, so delighted."
