A film biography of Jim Callaghan, Labour's last Prime Minister, who speaks frankly for the first time about his personal and political life.

From a very poor background, Callaghan left school at 16 with little formal education, and yet he rose to the highest offices in the land. When he came to Number 10, he was the only man in history ever to have been Chancellor, as well as Home and Foreign Secretary. He tells what it is like to be Prime Minister and gives his advice on how to do the job. When he was at Number 10, Callaghan compared himself to Moses planning to lead the British people into the promised land. Uncle Jim, as he was known, also reveals some unexpected talents.
Presented and produced by Michael Cockerell.
