The Great Sell Off: The Gamble

on BBC Two England

The first of three programmes about one of the most controversial political policies of the last 20 years - privatisation.

Privatisation started as a gamble but went on to transform the political landscape, bringing the Treasury £80 billion and creating millions of new shareholders. It also made thousands of people redundant, gave directors large salary rises and stirred up a public outcry.
