About the Series
1989. When two old friends – the “much feared inquisitor” Brian Walden and “Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher – come together for their last-ever TV interview, little do they realize they're about to embark on one of the most famous political exchanges of all time.
Helmed by Steve Coogan as politician-turned-journalist Brian Walden and Harriet Walter as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, this drama recounts the end of a political era and a long-term friendship, tensely reconstructing the seismic London Weekend Television interview that reshaped national opinion and signposted the end of Thatcher’s premiership. Brian and Margaret never spoke again after their final encounter.
