One of the most iconic pictures in post-war British politics sees six Prime Ministers – Harold Macmillan, Alec Douglas-Home, Harold Wilson, Edward Heath, Jim Callaghan and Margaret Thatcher – all standing alongside the Queen. The occasion was one of Elizabeth II’s rare visits to Number 10 Downing Street, on this occasion marking 250 years since the house became the official residence of the Prime Minister. In this episode, Lee and Richard discuss the remarkable night they were all reunited and consider what the Queen’s various prime ministers were up to in the mid-1980s.

‘Margaret Thatcher: Life After Downing Street’ by Peter Just. Available at: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/16406/9781785909207
