  • 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.

    Theres not much i wouldnt give to be able to go back in time and tell Gordon to call the election as soon as he got in. He's sorely missed

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.
