Brian and Maggie miniseries airs January 29 on Channel 4
Channel 4's new docudrama, 'Brian and Maggie,' explores the complex relationship and final interview between political interviewer Brian Walden and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, portrayed by Steve Coogan and Harriet Walter, respectively. The 1989 interview is depicted as pivotal, marking a shift in Thatcher's political fortunes and contributing to her eventual resignation. Writer James Graham emphasizes the decline of in-depth political interviews, highlighting concerns about their diminishing role in modern democracy. Coogan has expressed a desire for the series to maintain a balanced portrayal of Thatcher, cutting scenes that he felt were overly sympathetic. The drama not only revisits a historic political moment but also raises questions about the future of political discourse. It airs as a two-part special, with the intention of reigniting interest in the lost art of the political interview.
