AA Gill on Arthur Neville Chamberlain
Critic AA Gill controversially chooses 鈥減eace for our time鈥� prime minister, Neville Chamberlain. With Matthew Parris. From 2016.
The writer and critic AA Gill nominates Neville Chamberlain as his great life.
But his choice is someone who is regarded as one of the worst Prime Ministers Britain has ever had. Chamberlain is someone entrenched in popular legend, as the man who failed to stand up to Hitler.
So will AA Gill鈥檚 choice stand up to the scrutiny and will he be able to convince presenter Matthew Parris that this was a great life?
To help tell the story of Arthur Neville Chamberlain they are joined by Stuart Ball, Professor of Modern British History at the University of Leicester.
Producer: Perminder Khatkar
