Margaret Thatcher - The Long Walk to Finchley (2008x6)

Data de estreia: Jun 12, 2008

Focussing on the young Margaret Thatcher's steely determination to get selected to a "winnable" Tory seat in the Fifties, successful novelist and TV newcomer, Tony Saint's script imagines what might have gone on behind the scenes during her ten–year struggle as she was rejected by a succession of five home counties Tory selection committees until – against considerable local opposition – she was finally selected for the seat that she became identified with for the rest of her political career.
