The Candidate

on BBC Two England

Part 2: A two-part documentary account of a man's struggle to get into Parliament.
The Candidate has been selected as Labour's prospective Member for Braintree. He is nearer achieving his life's ambition now than he has ever been before. His chance came on 28 February 1974. Also in the field were two strong rivals -the Conservative and the Liberal. The last obstacle would be the hardest, for Braintree was a highly marginal seat.
