Rt Hon Margaret Thatcher MP in an intimate conversation with Russell Harty (1987)

I could listen to her all day.

My sentiment exactly!

Me too. Such a delight to listen to.

[@westminsterwatcher5152]

One truly remarkably formidable lady!

[@tur74d56]

For a woman who was the Iron Lady and very stern she sure had a very soothing voice and could speak so well about history

[@awakeningwithreiki9451]

Love or loathe Maggie, there's no way Britain would be in the mess it's in today, we're she still leading the country

[@ABC_DEF]

She speaks so beautifully.

[@vikingsong2068]

I could listen to her talk for hours. Thanks for uploading.

[@danfarrelly113]

Fascinating interview. You can see Thatcher's own background as a scientist shine through

[@edoardopesce9226]

This is simply great! Lovely to listen to her, so relaxed and talkative. Thank you!

It really is🥰😍

What a truly remarkable woman

[@arusarthighosh2273]

one of my favourite leader who pushed conservatives on a height. one of the BEST PM in my eye of Britain. The Iron lady of the world ❤️❤️

[@soxnation1000]

I love this interview! Shows her interests and views on a more personal level

[@lucianapennelli8514]

Margareth thatcher was a towering figure either in england or in the world. Great speaker,she always spoke her mind.she fought every single day of her splendid life and lived according to her principles.for this reason she paid a high price . She made england great again authoritative in europe as well as in the world. The only thing that defeated her was a friendly fire...

[@Muzzy68]

I had the pleasure to meet her once - she was charming, friendly and witty.

Hang on! You met Maggie!? I’m not Sherlock homes but I was born in 71. It really begs the question under what circumstances.

Right I’ve got it Maggie. I’ll try that one. Bovril. Chicken bovril was really nice. I’m not having it Margeret I’m having marmite

Amazing woman 😍. I was too young to appreciate her, but looking back she was formidable.

[@Bloomazz]

Poached egg and Bovril toast!? Wow, she was a truly unique PM

[@michaelwalker2492]

A role model for a true strong woman. Faced many hurdles, but never blamed her gender, even though she did faced sexism.

[@giugiu-h3j]

she could express herself so well and eloquently.

[@jeanalarson3108]

I don't think it's shocking that she admired Faraday. She was a scientist by training.

How British politics and society have deteriorated since Margaret.

[@zeddeka]

Its very interesting how perceptions of age have changed so much in the 40 years or so since this interview. They discuss 60 being old. Keir Starmer is 62 this year and nobody has said anything about his age.

[@puppy1584]

Blimey, I never thought I’d say this, but I miss her take on things. What would she think of today’s wokeness. 🇬🇧

[@jenniferjones188]

Totally agree with you. I wonder what she would have thought of Britain today. I miss her

[@batmandestroys1978]

@@jenniferjones188 She would call it finished and beyond help!

[@AllAmericanJock]

Ha. I doubt she'd know what it is. "Woke" is slang from black American youth.

Poor Russell Harty only had a year of life left to him in this footage.

🥺🥺🥺

[@marybrown72091]

The first female Prime minister in 1979! She was patriotic and put Britain first! Just look at all the appalling PMs we have had since Margaret Thatcher! The current one is an absolute nightmare for the UK!

[@dasme7174]

She was perfect!

[@craigmiller-randle8921]

I adore her

[@sunilmathew349]

Oh how much Great Britain has fallen since she stopped being Prime Minister !!!

[@Frip36]

She is speaking as if she's in a musical.

[@zeddeka]

She had a very idiosyncratic style of speech. I suspect some of it had to do with the extensive voice coaching she got when she became leader of the opposition to lower her voice and slow down her speech.

[@Frip36]

[@nudisco300]

@@chester6343 It's common knowledge she had voice training you only need to listen to her early 1980s interviews and late 1980s interviews to hear the difference. I still have a voice recording of myself from 30 years ago and I sound exactly the same.

If it was 1987 she would have been at least 61.

It was recorded in early January 1987.

[@dlk1dlk1]

@@MatgoStyles In that case she would have been 61, not 60.

[@MatgoStyles]

@dlk1dlk1 I'm pretty sure saying turning 60 is being used as shorthand for being in her 60s, given she hadn't been in her 60s for long.
