[edit] Major

In fact, John Major succeeded Margaret Thatcher during the period the three series were being produced. Major was never seen as the scheming Francis Urquhart character of the series, however.

Surely Major was, in a bizarre piece of foresight, Thatcher's fictional successor Henry Collingridge? At the start of TPTK, Urquhart tells the viewer something like "Remember the nice man who talked about the classless society? He had to go." Timrollpickering 23:54, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
