In a series of 13 programmes James Cameron reflects two decades which are both history and living memory.
Stanley Baldwin's Conservative Party, which had campaigned on the slogan of 'Safety First' in 1929, found to its surprise that the voters didn't want Safety first; they wanted Labour first, and that's what happened.
It was a minority Government, to be sure, but on the whole things seemed set fair, the Wall Street crash was 3.000 miles away and wouldn't affect anyone but those rich Americans who deserved it. Or would it?
James Cameron finds some of the answers from Jennie Lee, Manny Shinwell, Sir Oswald Mosley, and the first woman Cabinet Minister, Margaret Bondfield; from those who had other things on their minds, such as cricket with Bradman, Private Lives with Gertrude Lawrence, the lack of funds at the Old Vic or the pleasures of hiking - or, indeed, the extraordinary conversation of Josef Stalin.
