A light-hearted retelling of the true story of future prime minister Margaret Thatcher, during the fifties when, working as a research chemist, she begins her attempts to be selected for parliament, and meets her future husband Dennis.

Marking 40 years since Britain’s first female prime minister rocketed to power in 1979, the BBC presents the defining story of Margaret Thatcher and of the era when she dominated the political and social landscape. 　　How did the small town girl from Grantham, a woman who said she would not see a female Prime Minister in her own lifetime, rip us out of the post-war consensus, and the chaos of the 1970s, and hurl us towards the opportunities, individualism, wealth, inequalities, global standing and dilemmas of the present day? And how has the public memory of her life and career led to a situation where she repeatedly tops opinion polls when ordinary British people are asked to name both our worst, and our greatest, post-war leader? 　　Through the prism of one woman’s rise and fall, this series charts the seismic social history of modern Britain. Vivid archive footage from the time - ranging from the violent and visceral to the intimate and unseen - will allow us both a deeply personal glimpse of this remarkable politician, and transport us to the heart of some of the most important formative events in Britain’s recent past. 　　We will hear from those closest to her (politicians, friends, adversaries, some of the defining faces of the time) and from the citizens from every corner of Britain whose lives would be altered forever by the powerful shifts she brought about. Together their evocative, personal and revealing firsthand testimony will combine to build a multi-layered perspective, both of Thatcher herself and of a nation undergoing epoch defining social and cultural change.

The year is 2014. Mishko and Lev are fellow villagers serving on the minesweeper “Cherkasy”, a ship of the Ukrainian Navy stationed in the port of the Crimean Lake Donuzlav that is connected to the Black Sea. When the invasion of Crimea by the infamous “little green men” begins and President Yanukovych flees the country, the “Cherkasy” and other ships of the Ukrainian fleet are blocked on the lake. Successive Ukrainian ships surrender to the Russians. Only the crew of the "Cherkasy" decide to resist. Meanwhile, the Russians prepare to attack the minesweeper. The crew have to decide whether to defend themselves at all cost and to the very end. Based on true events, this is a story about the last warship in Crimea to sail under the Ukrainian flag.

Captain Vinka Kovelenko defects from Russia, but not for political reasons. She defects because she feels discriminated against as a woman. Captain Chuck Lockwood gets the order to show her the bright side of capitalism, while she tries to convince him of the superority of communism. Naturaly, they fall in love, but there's still the KGB, which doesn't like the idea of having a defected Russian officer running around in London. 　　—Stephan Eichenberg

It’s November 1990 and Britain’s longest serving Prime Minster for more than 150 years is about to announce her resignation after almost 11 years in office. She has just been forced to face another ballot for the position of Conservative leader (illustrated here by an amusing bit of footage featuring John Sergeant) and her party ally Geoffrey Howe has just stepped down due to her European policy. 　　And so marks the political downfall of Maggie Thatcher, played by multi-BAFTA nominated actress Lindsay Duncan who starred as Servilia in the HBO/BBC series Rome, the subject of this TV film entitled Margaret which tells the story a woman who simply couldn’t keep up the fight after her time as British Prime Minister. 　　Thatcher – A Hate Figure or Political Revolutionary? 　　The name Margaret Thatcher drums up many images and polarised opinions. She is someone who was famous for her tough-talking persona (earning her the nickname the ‘Iron Lady’), her staunch approach to the trade unions, the introduction of the poll tax (and successive riots) and the 1982 Falklands War, all of which made her a hate figure amongst the politically active left-wing but viewed as a strong leader by her supporters. 　　This film is an intimate portrayal of a woman on the brink of ruin; a human story about Maggie behind the public persona as she loses her grip on the power she had strived to achieve. In her last days the Cabinet tell her that she must go before she is "humiliated" and she is being challenged by her long time rival Michael Heseltine. 　　The story is also complemented by flashes to 15 years previously showing Maggie challenging the then Conservative leader Ted Heath and how she rose through the ranks of the Tory party. 　　“A drama not a documentary” – says Margaret Writer Richard Cottan 　　It’s not the first time Thatcher has been documented on screen either through real-life footage or in fictional accounts but it’s one that is bound to confront your perception on the person it portrays. The toughest task however must be trying to make even the most hardened anti-Thatcherite feel any sympathy for her. 　　Screenwriter Richard Cottan said: “What I was trying to do was to take the downfall as the narrative spine of a more personal story. When writing the script the biggest challenge was deciding what to leave out. I'm sure there will be much debate about the blurring between fact and fiction but I consider this to be a drama not a documentary.” 　　An Impressive Supporting Cast for Margaret 　　The producers have managed to attract an exciting array of veteran actors to portray her closest allies and advisors including Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine from the Star Wars films) as Thatcher's husband Denis, Robert Hardy (All Creatures Great And Small) as her trusted second-in-command Willie Whitelaw, Philip Jackson (Poirot) as no-nonsense press secretary Bernard Ingham and Kevin McNally (Pirates Of The Caribbean and recently ITV’s Demons) as Kenneth Clarke. 　　The supporting cast also lists John Sessions as Geoffrey Howe, Michael Maloney (Notes On A Scandal) taking the role as Thatcher's successor John Major, Roy Marsden (The Palace) as Norman Tebbit, Casualty’s Nigel Le Vaillant as former Conservative Prime Minster Ted Heath and an appearance by the Queen played by Rosemary Leach. 　　Whether or not the content of Margaret and the human side of Thatcher will appeal to most people the prospect of seeing such an impressive display of talent on one screen is too tempting to miss. 　　Regardless of your personal opinions on the Thatcher government and despite being vilified by numerous comedians (namely Ben Elton) and countless rock bands over the decades she still remains as one of the most important political figures in British history and the reason why she is still the topic of TV shows almost 20 years later.
