|

PART 1  |
Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is remembered as one of Europe's most trenchant critics, yet under Thatcher's premiership the European Project advanced further and faster than at any time since the 1960s. The BBC’s Allan Little explores why her vision of creating 'Thatcherism' on a European scale turned sour. |

PART 2 |
The European Union started as a small club of six nations. It has now expanded to 25, with would-be members banging loudly on the door. But the welcome mat isn’t out for everyone, and Turkey’s jockeying raises questions of just how far Europe can stretch. Listen to another documentary by Allan Little, “Return to Sarajevo.” . |
