Why did the Conservative Party hate Winston Churchill at the start of WW2? How did the Guilty Men polemic affect public opinion against Chamberlain? Which Tory MP buried their Fabergé Egg in the garden?

Join Al Murray as he interviews historian Kit Kowol about the Conservative Party of 1940s Britain, and how they brought about their own downfall in 1945 - even as they dreamt of a 'Blue Jerusalem' for the nation.
