When he died, there was a tribute from a surprising source, Tony Benn: 'A very kindly man personally. But I think he'll be remembered as one of the few people nowadays who actually said what he thought. And from that point of view, the House of Commons will suffer from his loss.'
Thanks for sharing this, I've only just started reading his diaries and it's fascinating to get to see him in action - and in a film made by no less a talent than Michael Cockerell.
Arrrgh! Re-visiting this before Party Conference today, and the most lovely part with Jane Clark and Al at breakfast is all scrambled! I hope it can be mended...
??? what economic school do you follow?It's about the International money market dooh! As Norman Lamont learned the hard way. Alan Clarke was highly entertaining , but rarely right about anything except his own libido
He had to 'make amends for the failures of his class'. By living in a castle he badgered his sick father to leave to him exclusively. A cunning user, sardonic as some little Hitler.

Wish we had an Alan Clark in Irish politics today.
One of a kind. No harm in him but such a cavalier politician.
I wrote to Alan Clark about something he wrote in Classic Car Magazine when I got his reply, let’s just say: “I thought my handwriting was bad.”
Most are, and can't spell.

My auntie lived at Albany when he did. Very polite man she said.
almost the image of the spy Kim Philby - he even spoke in that same accent that you almost never hear nowadays.

Scrambled footage, scrambled conference😂
I met both him and his wife in Holland Park once. Lovely couple.
Loved this chap and his diaries thanks so much for posting.
A great pity that the final segment of this excellent documentary is damaged.
Love Alan Clarke and his diaries. I wonder what he would make of today's politics
An absolute shambles... one would imagine him being apoplectic.
I might be the only person on Earth to think this, but Alan Clark looks like Keith Richards had he been a politician.
He was so right about the devaluation of the currency! It only creates a money illusion, which never reaches our pockets in real terms.

Don’t suppose the Castle and acreage had anything to do with her decision?
The film breaks down after the Iraq debacle. The man's a complete chancer.
Aren't we all.
