by Jo Grimond with Keith Kyle
In the 1964 General Election Jo Grimond , as Leader of the Liberal Party, saw the number of Liberal seats increase for the first time since 1929. In the last of three programmes, he talks to Keith Kyle about his hopes at the time for a radical re-alignment of the politics of the Left.
At the age of 53, he quit the leadership of the Party - he reflects on the years that followed; on the crisis brought about by Jeremy Thorpe 's resignation as Leader, on his opposition to David Steel's
Lib/Lab pact which kept the Callaghan Labour Government in power for a further two years.
