1918-1939
In a series of 13 programmes James Cameron reflects two decades which are both history and living memory. 8: A Blank Cheque
In 1931 there was a recession. an industrial crisis, a year of inflation, a Labour Government uneasily contending between its Left and its Riphf. a Trades Union movement suspicious of both. Ramsay Mac Donald thought a National Government was the answer to every problem. But was it?
JAMES CAMERON finds some of the answers from the Socialists who found themselves ' bereft of hope ' and the Socialists who joined the new Government; from Noel Cow ard who stood aside a,nd wrote Cavalcade, from the men who made the R101 and had other things on their minds: from those who argued over Gandhi and Indian independence; and those who witnessed the televising of the Derby.
