Political Fictions: The Absence of War

I had a great time joining Cory Hazlehurst and Mark Pack on their Political Fictions podcast to talk about the superb 1995 television adaptation of David Hare’s The Absence of War. Catch the whole episode here.

Listeners are warned this episode contains some unashamed John Thaw fanboying, my still unresolved teenage trauma over Labour’s 1992 general election loss, and cautionary tales as to why you should always keep an eye on Ceefax.

You can also watch The Absence of War on the BBC iPlayer until 16 September. Catch it here.
