Michael Cockerell, the BBC's most established political documentary maker, speaks about his 50-year career which has seen him interview every Prime Minister since Harold Macmillan, and create political profile documentaries with some of British politics' most influential figures, from Enoch Powell to Boris Johnson. Very few people, if anyone, have had such access to the heart of British politics over such a long period of time, so this was one of the most fascinating conversations I have ever had.
