When Margaret Thatcher resigns as leader, he remains neutral and after a general election where the conservatives are returned with a reduced majority, he fully expects the new Prime Minister, Henry Collingridge (David Lyon), to give him his just reward: a senior Cabinet post. When hes informed that he is to stay in his current position, he devises a plot to unseat Collingridge and ensure his own election as party leader and Prime Minister with encouragement from his wife, Elizabeth (Diane Fletcher).
