A VERY BRITISH COUP
The taut, powerful, all-too-plausible story about
a democracy attacked from within When plain-
spoken, charismatic former steelworker Harry
Perkins becomes prime minister in a landslide
Labour Party victory, his socialist agenda
horrifies the entrenched ruling class and the
right-wing media. As Perkins presses ahead with
plans to close down U.S. military bases, break up
newspaper monopolies and dismantle British nuclear
weapons, the establishment and its American allies
conspire in a brutal back-room struggle to regain
control. Starring Ray McAnally (A Perfect Spy, My
Left Foot), this PBS Masterpiece Theatre
miniseries won an International Emmy Award, three
top British television awards and the Banff
Television Festival grand prize.
