Episode Quotes

Alan: Only in *this* country can a queer on a murder charge be allowed to fight an election.

Jack: So you think it's down to Thatcher to lead us all to a Brave New World? She alone can slay the dragon of the Unions? It wasn't *that* long ago you thought she was a bloody joke.
Edward: Yes, well... I under-estimated her.
Jack: She's not alone in that.
Edward: Yes, well, consensus politics is over. And it's your lot that killed it. You know, when Margaret Thatcher walks into Downing Street, just remember: it's your beloved Left who held the door open for her.
