The Lost Leader: James Ramsay MacDonald

on BBC One London

For years the tragic figure of Ramsay MacDonald has haunted the Labour Movement. Three times Prime Minister of Britain, MacDonald, at a time when the country was facing her direst financial crisis, forsook his own Labour Government to form a coalition with the Conservatives. For years Labour was not to forgive him.
The men who fought with and against MacDonald - among them Lord Avon and Sir Oswald Mosley, Malcolm MacDonald and Emanuel Shinwell - give their own account of the rise and decline of Britain's first Labour Prime Minister.
