The last of eight documentary programmes written and presented by Michael Charlton , which examine what have been called the ' missed opportunities ' of Britain's European diplomacy between the final years of the Second World War and de Gaulle's veto of the United Kingdom's bid to join the EEC.
The Great Refusal
Why in January 1963, did the President of France veto the British application? Did
Mr Macmillan misjudge his personal influence with de Gaulle? Was Polaris a pretext or the reason for the refusal? Were the tactics of the negotiations misconceived?
