Our political leaders spend their careers spinning their images and
polishing their achievements; Michael Cockerell has spent his
professional life stripping off the gloss. Over fifty years, he has
gained unrivalled access to the secret chambers of Westminster and
Whitehall. Here, he reveals in illuminating and often hilarious
stories what our top politicians are really like behind the mask.
Drawing on his unique experience of having filmed all the past ten
Prime Ministers, Cockerell tells how he manages to lull some of the
most wary people in the land into candour, and shows how questions
of sex are never far from the surface in Westminster. Amongst much
else, he recounts: how Margaret Thatcher flirted with him on screen
but attacked him by name in the Commons; how Tony Blair said he
would willingly 'pay the blood price' in Iraq; how David Cameron
learned from Enoch Powell always to make a big speech on a full
bladder - and how Boris Johnson admitted to doubts about his
ability to be Prime Minister. Revealing how our politicians have
reacted during some of the most pivotal events in our recent
history, Unmasking Our Leaders also provides a compelling insight
into a career working in political television and foreign
reporting, where tensions, rivalries and life-threatening danger
are all part of the package.
