Lord Heseltine, former deputy prime minister and Tory grandee, joins Hugo, Danny, Sally and Polly for the latest in our series looking at how the most significant elections of our lifetimes were won, and how they were lost.
We go back to the 1983 general election, and the leadership crisis that brought Margaret Thatcher down - and he offers some advice to any potential challengers to the prime minister.
