- Synopsis
- Drama based on Margaret Thatcher's early years in politics. Young Margaret wants nothing more than to be an MP, but may be too much of a rebel for the Conservative Party of the 1950s. She didn't have a 'good war', she's interested in politics and she thinks a woman's place can be in the House as well as the home. Andrea Riseborough (Party Animals) as Margaret; Rory Kinnear (Mansfield Park) as husband Denis; Geoffrey Palmer (As Time Goes By) as her nemesis, Sir John Crowder; Oliver Ford-Davis (Star Wars) plays high-ranking Conservative MP Sir Donald Kaberry; and Samuel West (Cambridge Spies) is fellow future Prime Minister, Ted Heath.
