The Rock and Poll Years

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Carol Thatcher recalls the music and the political dramas of 1992. John Major had taken over as prime minister after the fall of Margaret Thatcher 15 months earlier. He eventually called the election for April. As the parties took to the road, Queen were in the charts, as were Right Said Fred and Simply Red. Neil Kinnock had transformed himself and the Labour Party, and was ahead in the polls. He held rallies around the country culminating in a Sheffield extravaganza but then it all went terribly wrong.
