I'd Like to Thank the Returning Officer

If you're a newly-elected MP, how do you contain your joy? What do you say if you've just lost? Phil Collins reviews fifty years of election night speeches - the moving, the inspirational, and the truly terrible. He talks to the MPs and their unsuccessful rivals who have had to give them. And as a former speechwriter himself, he offers some pointers for future candidates: who should you thank, who should you praise, and who - or what - should you just ignore? And how best to win or lose graciously? Producer: Giles Edwards.
