Roy Jenkins Remembered by Michael Cockerell

Political interviewer Michael Cockerell introduces his acclaimed profile of Roy Jenkins, the man who, as home secretary in the 1960s, helped transform British society by changing laws on homosexuality, abortion and hanging. As Michael explains, his research for the original documentary would confirm rumours of Jenkins’s extra-marital affairs, and he reveals how ‘Woy’ responded when asked on camera to confirm the details of his colourful love-life.
