Shifty
I absolutely loved this documentary series. I am 65 and felt like my life was passing in front of my eyes. The nostalgia pangs were bittersweet. To me, it felt true to the times.
The treatment of the Thatcher regime challenges the current perception that her works require some kind of sainthood and present the pain and destructoon visited on so many people by her stiff-necked policies. I remember friends having their flats repossessed and the terrible inequalities created by those receiving double figure interest on savings whilst others were having to pay them out on mortgages. The myth that unions destroyed industry is illustrated beautifully. I would love to see more like this.
