What happens on a Prime Minister's first day in Number Ten? Who does he see? What decisions await him? What is everyone else in Number Ten doing? Peter Hennessy speaks to people who have been there alongside new Prime Ministers from Anthony Eden to David Cameron. Among them are secret servants of the state talking for the first time about some of the most sensitive aspects of a new Prime Minister's inheritance. He hears about Cabinet-making and the first audience with the Queen, and from the man in charge of the Conservative transition team about what was worrying him before the election.
