## Description

Documentary exploring the career of the controversial former British prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, and the extraordinary political coup which removed her from power. Thatcher, nicknamed the 'Iron Lady' because of her personal abrasiveness and, in the view of some, harsh policies, was disliked by many during her time in power. However, it was her own party that ultimately ended her political career, as Michael Heseltine's leadership challenge sparked an incredible series of events that led to the deposed Thatcher leaving Downing Street in tears.

    Beware!
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2010*

First of all, the run time is not 90 min but only 55. Secondly, the synopsis is wrong in saying that this programme describes the career of MT. It only chronicles her last few days in power, and in a very uninspired and incomplete way too. (Viewers don't get to know anything about how exactly she was succeeded, for example, although the third candidate in the second ballot, Douglas Hurd, is one of the interviewees in this film.) Thirdly, the French writer and director has come up with an inaccurate, superficial script (Longest mandate of a PM? Major had put her in the shade? Westminster = Palace of Westminster? Hardly. And what is it with the scenes from Spitting Image?). Fourthly, the narrator (French, I suppose, like the writer and director etc.; the IMDB doesn't list any details on Michel Papineschi) has a pseudo-American accent and, in this film, is mispronouncing  words (iron, Dulwich; Geoffrey Howe becomes Hoe). Fifthly, the producers haven't even managed to adapt the old British TV footage in 4:3 to the rest of the film's 16:9 aspect ratio. All in all, a huge disappointment.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not what it's made out to be.
  

*by V***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 March 2010*

I would agree with the first reviewer. This is no substantial analysis of Margaret Thatcher's life or downfall. How could there be in 55 minutes? It is rather a superficial look at her last couple of days in power with former cabinet ministers reflecting on this time (although the producer has managed to gather together a formidable array of former colleagues to air their views). Neither does it analyse or reflect upon the massive impact of Thatcherism or the affect of her downfall on the Conservative Party.Rather, Mrs Thatcher is depicted as an unliked, passive, almost pathetic figure at the end of her rule, which is clearly not the case to anyone who knows the real story of Margreat Thatcher. The Spitting Image scenes may be useful in depicting common media and cultural portrayals of the events at the time, but add little else. If you've got money to throw away (on a 55 minutes programme, not 90 minutes) do so, but one would be better off obtaining Youngsor Campbell's biographies or the Downing Street Years, only available still on VHS.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Misguiding
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 September 2010*

The title is misguiding, as this DVD focuses on the end of her premiership.The political commentaries and the views on her action are clearly left wing.However the description of the rebellion against her inside the Conservative party is interesting and well documented.
