Untitled Margaret Thatcher Project

From her humble beginnings as a Grocers daughter from Grantham, Margaret Thatcher fought her way through the murky world of politics, the sexist prejudices of the Conservative Party elite and the scepticism of the British electorate to become the greatest British Prime Minister since Winston Churchill.

Margaret Thatcher. Première et unique femme Premier ministre du Royaume-Uni, élue à trois reprises, et restée près de onze ans au pouvoir… Une des figures politiques contemporaines les plus admirées, mais aussi l’une des plus détestées. Son destin s’est joué en trois jours, du 20 au 22 novembre 1990 : de la préparation de sa destitution, à sa mise à mort politique, lors d’un véritable coup d’Etat par ses propres ministres, secrétaires d’Etat, conseillers politiques, directeurs de campagne, chef de cabinet… Racontée par les acteurs du "complot", tous témoins directs, l’incroyable histoire des derniers jours au pouvoir de Margaret Thatcher, qui devait confier à sa fille Carol : "Je n’oublierai jamais… Et je ne leur pardonnerai jamais !

The Brighton bomb, which exploded on 12 October 1984, was one of the IRA’s most significant attacks on mainland Britain during the Troubles. Directly targeting Margaret Thatcher, the bomb, which was planted three weeks before the Conservative Party conference, lay hidden underneath a bathtub in room 629. When the bomb exploded, it blew a gaping hole in Brighton’s Grand Hotel, and although the prime minister herself was physically unharmed, the consequences were devastating. Five people were killed in the blast, and 34 others were seriously injured.

This is an award-winning 4-part BBC documentary series first broadcast in 1993. It combines archive footage with new interviews to provide a balanced view of Margaret Thatcher's years as Prime Minister (1979-1990).
