The first of a five-part series - with four consecutive nightly programmes this week - revealing the inside story of the general election as prospective candidates discuss what losing could mean to them and how they manage to cope with the stress and upheaval. Tonight's prospective MPs include Liberal Democrat candidate for Totnes Rachel Oliver, who believes she is poised to take over one of the South West's most marginal seats but becomes embroiled in an increasingly personal battle; and scourge of the Labour leadership Bob Marshall-Andrews, a successful QC who hopes to retain the seat he won last time in Medway.
