Part two of two. After winning three consecutive general elections, prime minister Margaret Thatcher seems unstoppable. However, her increasing unwillingness to listen or bend to her colleagues leads to trouble in the ranks. She turns to journalist friend Brian Walden to help promote her message, though he is also becoming less certain of her judgement. Further difficulty looms when respected chancellor Nigel Lawson resigns, plunging Thatcher's leadership into crisis. The interview with Walden comes at a bad time. Drama, starring Harriet Walter and Steve Coogan
