Well what can I say ?You get a comedic account of the great woman's eventual election to Parliament.Then you get a depiction of the self-inflicted Greek tragedy that was her political demise.The acting in both programs is top notch and it is clear that the script writers know their stuff.Amazon are as ever offering great drama at a great price and if you want quality stuff to watch then this is for you.
Both Thatcher dramas are worth a look and no mistake !

The rise of Margaret Thatcher 'The long walk to Finchley' is an amusing combination of how Margaret might have done it and what actually did happen. It is played very well and keeps you interested every second, her bond with her political party and her bond with Denis are both amusing and gripping.
The fall of Margaret Thatcher 'Margaret' is a gripping and chilling experience. With some of the quotes and speeches taken from real life events, you get a sense of what it would have been like for her, for her family and for the Cabinet. If you're a lover of Margaret Thatcher, some of this will be sobering, if you're a hater, it will be enlightening. As a lover, i found it to be interesting and hard to watch.

An anti Tory view
Wonderful.
Just see how Rory, Lindsay and Ian make characters (a writer's idea of real people) exist on the small screen.
