Times I lived through. I remember where I was (driving the car back from Thorne and Hatfield Moors having tried to hear Nightingale in Yorkshire) on that night, 1 May1997. We were so full of hope. No doubt the Blair/Brown strategy was the right one to get elected, and what is the point of a political party that cannot gain power?
This is good TV and an excellent watch, recommended. Insightful, as the cracks appear and Blair gradually goes off the rails (first by privatising bits of the NHS and then by making war). And why wouldn't the left turn on you? The programme intimates that Blair was never really committed to the Labour party in the first place, well that's my reading of it. And then there is the question of ego... surfacing and resurfacing repeatedly.
