Denis Thatcher Interview

Denis Thatcher in a rare interview with his daughter.

[@carolking6355]

He was very, very funny in wonderful dry way. Absolutely charming. He and his wife made a wonderful team.

[@mogadon7]

You can see where his daughter Carol got being a twit from.

[@happyuk06]

"And of course, I was very, very, drunk."

[@happyuk06]

I could listen to this guy all day.

[@paullinnane8135]

I'd rather listen to the clock

[@johnking5174]

This interview was recorded in April 2003, two months before his death.

[@lyndasinger2033]

He comes across as a very decent kind man

He isn't really

They was one thing about Sir Denis he was a one off extra special

[@beriligum]

That last joke was golden.

[@chrispythegull]

Thank you for this! Never thought I'd see this sort of footage.

[@staffie1uk]

Priceless. Thanks for sharing.

[@williamusher]

good old English story teller

[@richardsharpe2966]

He would have loved England winning the Rugby World Cup in 2003

[@poetryreincarnations]

What an amazing character its a pity he had to remain in the background so much he was obviously a very amusing man.

[@asillypiggy]

poetryreincarnations He’s not really in the background. He had his own business ventures before his wife ventured into politics. He’s just not interested in public policy, beside as a businessman he can’t enter politics without being scrutinisedz

[@oldfashionedphil]

Ha-ha! He's really quite a daft fellow. No wonder he was afraid of speaking in public. A very funny and lovely chap.

[@stevenjukes8208]

+oldfashionedphil You can tell Carol & her father love each other. I would love to have seen the chats before & after the cameras roll.

Do put the words "Dear Bill letters from our hapless hero" into a search engine like Google and you may find that Denis is alive and well- !

Denis was a champ. T- I received my signed photo from auction and am thrilled. Regards fron Pittsburgh

[@tracycole1481]

Really enjoyed this interview :-) Is this part of the Denis Thatcher story documentary? Thanks again for another wonderful upload.

[@TT_1221]

That last story is very funny!

[@alexcaius3843]

We love you misses Thatcher like your old man loves his brew. Such a lad your husband Dennis when he's had a sup or two. Sure he'll take a pint of porter and a glass of irish mist. And because he facem you each night, no wonder he gets pissed

[@babygirl10711978]

What a joker! I bet he was a real riot.

[@iainholmes2735]

Wonderful chap. He was almost a living cartoon.

[@BwInNewJersey]

He was like a character from a Beatles movie

[@fadedape]

that last story was comedy gold (espec. in the era of #traingate and corbyn...)

[@kynismos]

Decent chap.

[@marcusandrew1190]

That’s was a damn funny story at the end 😅

[@tuforu4]

use to sell arms,,,

[@nclon11]

Last joke is british nation coming together to do what they are best at.

[@calengr1]

year of interview?

[@johnking5174]

April 2003, two months before his death

[@NorthIndochina]

When was this?

[@ForeverBennett]

This would have been 2001 or 2002. He references a friend he's known for 50 years, saying he first met them in either 1951 or 1952. Sounds about right to me!

[@hughphillips1427]
