It was called Starlings.
This possibly 3-part (?) drama is set in the London city dealing rooms, and a guy starts work at a trading desk. He says he went to Cambridge but was caught cheating. He is hesitant about the work but is reassured and soon picks it up. The plot develops because he starts his own business and then is successful, and then there is a twist where he is unsuccessful or possibly re-thinks and leaves somehow. I would guess it was late 80s/90s. It was quite good as I recall. Thank you.
