Her policies divided the country - seeing a boom in the service sector and home ownership but a decline in manufacturing and soaring unemployment. Streep image of Thatcher revealed. Thatcher unplugged. Streep to receive Kennedy honour. The Iron Lady Movie. Ian Curteis's controversial Falklands Play is an account of how Margaret Thatcher's government handled the biggest crisis in British foreign affairs since Suez.
It was originally commissioned by the BBC in for broadcast in the but it was shelved by the then controller of BBC One Michael Grade, amid concerns of pro-Thatcher bias ahead of a forthcoming general election. It was eventually broadcast in , on the 20th anniversary of the war. Hodge was praised for her performance, with the Guardian saying she "conveyed emotion and contempt with the slightest flicker of her eyes and doled out death stares, the likes of which could freeze fire at yards".
Arguably one of the most famous impersonations of Margaret Thatcher was performed by a man. Portrayed as a bullying tyrant who wore suits and chewed cigars, the Thatcher puppet also had a fierce dislike of anything French. When an all-female theatre company put on a production of Margaret Thatcher: the musical, Nallon was the man who gave them vocal coaching lessons.

It was soft content-lite Thatcher on display, a succession of photo-ops, telly with the sound turned off — and she won.
Only then did the fireworks start and only gradually. Lloyd's Iron Lady takes few serious liberties with narrative facts in a series of setpieces: strikes, the Falklands war and Irish bombs, little on Europe or the cold war, no Westland crisis or Kinnock.
