LThe Labour Party has failed to win four general elections. Former deputy leader Roy Hattersley believes that unless Labour understands why it lost in 1992, it may never win again. In this series of three programmes he gives a witty, personal and critical account of events from his time in the Wilson and Callaghan governments, through the period of "civil war" and near-destruction of Labour, to the fight back under Neil Kinnock.
The Long Retreat. In the opening programme, Hattersley traces the development of his beliefs from boyhood in Sheffield, entering parliament after Gaitskell's call to "fight again", and becoming a cabinet minister under Callaghan. Director David WRolfe
