Vanessa Engle's 3-part series looks back at the 1970s and 80s, revisiting a passionate and turbulent era when the extreme left was a significant force and many lived out their profound commitment to a political cause. This programme tells the story of the News on Sunday, a disastrous attempt to launch a left-wing mass market Sunday newspaper. The paper went bust in June 1987, just 8 weeks after it launched, its demise mirroring that of the Left in the late 1980s.
