Val Meets the VIPs - Rt Hon Mrs Margaret Thatcher
Valerie Singleton hosts a discussion between the Minister for Education, Margaret Thatcher, and an audience of children.
Mrs Thatcher puts forward her own theories about why so few women enter politics and expresses doubt that she will see a female prime minister in her lifetime. A short film documents Mrs Thatcher's day, beginning with breakfast with her children and continuing with cabinet meetings at 10 Downing Street and a visit to a school.
Margaret Thatcher was the only politician to appear on Val Meets the VIPs. Other guests in the series included trade unionist Vic Feather, comedians Morecambe and Wise and footballer Jack Charlton.
