In Power: Politics and People

Documentary about the political life of Alastair Campbell, once the closest ally of Tony Blair. Archive footage of the most pivotal events from the last ten years and readings from his memoirs provide an insight into British politics from the press secretary once labelled 'the second most powerful man in the country.' This episode tells the real story of the 'People’s Princess' from Campbell’s diary accounts, which also reveals details about the Labour government's sex scandal, the resignation of Peter Mandelson, and goes behind the scenes of the Good Friday agreement.
