An Unforgettable Interview
|
|
|
|
|
In 1989, two old friends — highly-respected political journalist Brian Walden and long-standing British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher — sat down for a television interview. Unbeknownst to both of them, their on-air exchange would make history and end their long-term friendship. In this new series, Brian and Maggie, political tensions and journalistic pursuits are put under the microscope as a government scandal erupts. Starring Steve Coogan as Brian Walden and Harriet Walter as “Iron Lady” Margaret Thatcher, catch the series premiere on Sunday, October 5, at 8pm on KQED 9. Or stream it with KQED Passport or on the PBS App.
