Our political fictions series returns with Alan Hollinghurst’s The Line of Beauty (2004), which is set between Thatcher’s two dominant general election victories of 1983 and 1987. A novel about the intersection between gay life and Tory life, high politics and low conduct, beauty and betrayal, it explores the price of power and the risks of liberation. It also contains perhaps the greatest of all fictional portrayals of a real-life prime minster: Thatcher dancing the night away.

Em 2017, o jornal The New York times revelou uma série de acusações de abusos sexuais, ocorridos ao longo de décadas contra o então produtor de Hollywood Harvey Weinstein.
Cada caso revelado incentivava uma nova denúncia, e, ao todo, 30 atrizes relataram terem sido abusadas por Weinstein – incluindo Gwyneth Paltrow e Angelina Jolie. Weinsten foi preso, condenado por estupro e agressão sexual, e o movimento Me Too, que incentiva mulheres abusadas sexualmente a denunciarem seus agressores, ganhou força inédita.
No mesmo período, entretanto, o mundo viveu uma forte onda conservadora. O cinema e as séries de TV parecem evitar erotismo e cenas de sexo, e plataformas como a Netflix desenvolveram até um botão para “pular” esses momentos.
Neste episódio de podcast, falamos sobre como as produções audiovisuais estão cada vez menos eróticas, e sobre o desafio da criação de cenas de sexo para cinema e para TV.

To wrap up our series David and Robert attempt some instant history on the election result that’s just happened: in some ways predictable, in others utterly remarkable. What does such a big win for Labour on such a relatively small vote mean? What’s happening in Scotland? Where next for the Tories? And is the UK now an outlier in a world of increasing political turmoil, or is the turmoil just under the surface here too?

For election day, David and Robert discuss the previous general election in December 2019, which saw Boris Johnson win a decisive victory under the slogan ‘Get Brexit Done’. How did he (or Dominic Cummings) do it? Was Corbyn to blame for Labour’s defeat? And how the hell did the Tories get from that resounding victory to their current disarray in just 4½ years?

In this extra episode for election week David talks to historian Robert Saunders about the last great Labour landslide of 1997, when Tony Blair won the biggest majority in his party’s history (till now?). Why did the Tories get no credit for a strong economy? How did New Labour change political campaigning? Was this the election that did for the prospects of proportional representation? Plus – the Millennium Dome: totemic or tat?

Today’s pivotal UK election is the one that brought Margaret Thatcher to Downing Street in 1979. David talks to historian Robert Saunders about how she did it and how it could have turned out very differently. What might have happened if the election had been called the previous year? Did Thatcherism already exist in 1979 or had it still to be invented? And how close did the Labour party come to permanent schism in the years following her victory?
