I finished off the 5-part series Thatcher: A Very British Revolution. What a truly riveting, well put together and thoroughly brilliant series. Regardless of what one's politics are/were, what can't be denied is what an incredible person Lady Thatcher was. Its easy to forget the appalling state of the UK when she assumed office in May 1979, and just what a monumental disaster of an economy she had to sort out. Love her, hate her, one thing was for certain, you couldn't ignore her. But what really hit home was the age and varying stages of frailty of many of the contributors to the series. These were the politicians of my late teens and twenties....wow I feel old.... Lots of memories, many good, many bad and many sad. Recommended viewing - especially for those of a UK persuasion - and in particular if you are at least 50 years old.
