Airdate: Thatcher & Reagan: A Very Special Relationship

Two part documentary series Thatcher & Reagan: A Very Special Relationship begins this week on SBS.

The ‘special relationship’ between the UK and the US has weathered many global crises and personality clashes over the decades, but it arguably reached its zenith in the 1980s, when Thatcher and Reagan forged a unique friendship that grounded their political strategising in mutual respect.

Thatcher biographer Charles Moore, who was The Telegraph’s political correspondent throughout the era, traces their relationship through a turbulent decade of global political upheaval reshaped by UK and US efforts to thaw East/West relations and ultimately work towards tearing down the Iron Curtain.

Wednesday, 1 June at 8.30pm on SBS.
