The Rock and Poll Years: 4

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The series that mixes pop and politics to capture the atmosphere and chart the course of general election campaigns which changed the country.

Miles Kington tunes in to 1979, when prime minister Jim Callaghan was battling not just the unions and the Winter of Discontent but also the new Tory leader Margaret Thatcher. Blondie were in the charts with Sunday Girl, as was Art Garfunkel With Bright Eyes.
