In 1964, four newly elected MPs take their seats at Westminster: grammar school boy Raymond Gould (Tom Wilkinson), born above a Leeds butchers shop; Andrew Fraser (David Robb), the son of a Conservative Lord Provost who joins the Labour Party; Simon Kerslake (James Faulkner), a career Conservative and Charles Seymour (Jeremy Child), a ruthless Tory landowner. Each man has his sights on Number Ten but who will succeed?
Drawing upon real situations encountered by Jeffrey Archer early in his career, the portrayal of key contemporary figures (Margaret Thatcher and Colonel Gadaffi among them) lends the series an air of authenticity that is further enhanced by the celebrated replica of the House of Commons that was specially constructed for the 1986 series.
