Margaret

Lindsay Duncan stars as Margaret Thatcher in this one-off drama charting the former prime minister's final days in office. In November 1990, deputy prime minister Geoffrey Howe resigns with a speech in which he urges his fellow Conservative Party members to consider their loyalty to Mrs Thatcher. A leadership challenge is announced, but the Iron Lady refuses to take it seriously - unaware her premiership will be over just nine days later. Ian McDiarmid portrays loyal husband Denis, with Geoffrey Howe, Michael Heseltine and Kenneth Clarke played by John Sessions, Oliver Cotton and Kevin R McNally.
