- This is a reupload with an altered title, as it kept being confused with a documentary with a similar title but completely different subject.
Ross Wilson's STV crew were given backstage access to Shadow Chancellor Gordon Brown and his team, including Ed Balls, Ed Miliband and Charlie Whelan. Broadcast in ITV's 'Network First' strand, 30 September 1997.
I didn't record the second part, 'We are the Treasury', but Peter Lewis did: • Network First We are t...
Gordon is incredibly impressive.
Gordon Brown is way more affable and likeable in this feature than when he's being formally 'interviewed', when he comes across as wooden, stilted (with that insane grin even when being deadly serious) and even irritable. Or, as the years go by, simply says nothing of interest and drearily by-the-book (as with the recent Blair/Brown BBC series). Here - letting himself be filmed in conversation with colleagues - he comes across as clever dedicated and even charming. That speech to the Tribune meeting at 32.00 is knockout.
Great upload, fascinating seeing the roles of what some of the future big hitters played back in '97
Ed Balls and Ed Miliband look like a couple of geeky school kids.
They essentially were geeky school kids.
Excellent upload; watched it straight through! Thanks so much.
This title killed me lmao.
Love this documentary.
The intro is epic 🙏🇬🇧
Interesting & also very weird watching this from the modern day as a younger person.
28:12 working 18 hours a day. Woah
Gordon very attractive in this error😮
The Conservatives had to go in 1997 but we deserved something more honest than New Labour.
Have you got by any chance the BBC documentary Michael Howard: No More Mr. Nasty (2005), I couldn't find it anywhere. Immensely thankful for your incredible collection.
I'm afraid not. Don't think I recorded it, and in fact I've no memory of watching it.
@@DBIVUK What was your verdict on New Labour?
Red Ed and Redder Ed are foetuses here, true definition of career politicians.
wow thanks for your upload if we had our gord now then we would not be in the mess that we will be come the new tax year of this new year but this is what you get when a no good tory clown is in who is unfit to govern and who lies at any given time of day thanks again yours cath leicestershire 2022
Look what happened to balss Miliband
Whelan was so slimy lmao
20:28 Whelan crumbling under that PRESSURREEEEE, he’s just like me
Brown should have called an election when he became PM. Economy would have recovered by 2012 as he wouldn't have pushed through the Tory austerity. Sadly he bottled it.
From the gravitas and moral integrity of Gordon Brown to the laughing stock that is Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak. I'm writing this on the morning the latter said that he knew deprivation as a child because his family didn't have...Sky TV. Dear God....--Kevin Whelan (no relation to Charlie)
2024.. Labour Out of Power and UK out of EUROPE
