The Making of the Iron Lady
Using unseen archive footage and interviews, Michael Cockerell tells the inside story of the 20 years that took Margaret Thatcher from Commons new girl to prime minister in 1979.
Using unseen archive footage, new filming and interviews with those closest to the action, Michael Cockerell tells the inside story of the 20 years that took Margaret Thatcher from Commons new girl to her election in 1979 as the first ever female British prime minister.
