The story
What it's about
Tony Blair is one of Britain's most successful and controversial leaders. With unprecedented access, including Blair and family, this series charts his meteoric rise to power. And what happened next.
Featuring an in-depth interview with Tony Blair himself, his story is also told through those who knew him best – friends, allies, and opponents. Peeling back the layers of political spin and tabloid sensationalism, the programme offers a fresh perspective on the man who transformed the Labour Party and reshaped Britain.
The series goes beyond the headlines to explore the key moments that shaped Blair’s leadership, providing a gripping insight into one of the most influential Prime Ministers of the modern era.
