Victory in the Falklands in 1982 transformed Mrs Thatcher. Before the war she was the most unpopular prime minister ever, but when she called the election in 1983, she seemed invincible. Up against her was the bedraggled Labour Party led by Michael Foot. Labour's manifesto was described as the" longest suicide note in history" by a senior labour MP. Wham, Elton John and Heaven 17 were in the charts and Michael Jackson 's Thriller became the biggest selling album ever. The mood of the time seemed to be summed up by the hit television programme Minder, featuring the wheeler-dealer Arthur Daley. His creator, George Cole , recalls the music and the politics to tell the story of Thatcher's triumph. Producers Chris Bond and Rachel Wright
