Three programmes in which the former minister looks back on his political career. Maggie's Minister
"Margaret categorised her ministers as those she could put down, those she could wear down and those she could break down." Kenneth Baker spent eight years as part of Margaret Thatcher 's government.
Tonight, in the first of these programmes coinciding with the publication of his memoirs, he reminisces with former friends and colleagues and reflects on what it took to be one of Thatcher's ministers.
His insider's view will reveal what was in that famous handbag, who got the ear of the Prime Minister and how Baker eventually became "one of us". With contributions from Sir
Tim Bell , Kenneth Clarke ,
Chris Patten , Lord Parkinson, Sir Charles Powell , Malcolm Rifkind , Lord Tebbit and William Waldegrave. Producer Alison Cahn
Editor Anne Tyerman

Personal odysseys and observations filmed by members of the public. Time for Tom
A mother records with uncompromising honesty the end of the life of her 4-year-old son. Aged 10 months, Tom was diagnosed as suffering from Tay Sachs disease and given only a few years to live under constant care. Christine decided to make her diary because she wanted as many people as possible to know her son in his short life. As her family grieves, Christine is released from caring for Tom, but the new sense of freedom is overtaken by a longing to have her son back again. Her diary is a personal, powerful and deeply moving record of a family struggling to come to terms with a child's life and death. Producer Emma Read
