Episode description

Health Secretary, Steve Barclay, spent his gap year serving with the Royal Fusiliers. Now he finds himself in the line of fire from striking health workers, in a long-running dispute over pay. His job is to somehow find a solution to the row, without adding to the Treasury’s headaches.

Can this rugby-loving sky-diver rise to the challenge? Adrian Goldberg talks to family and friends to find out why some Whitehall officials tremble under his forensic questioning – and why he’s been likened to popular TV detective, Columbo.

Presenter: Adrian Goldberg Production team: Sally Abrahams, Diane Richardson and Beth Ashmead-Latham Production co-ordinator: Sabine Schereck Studio engineer: Graham Puddifoot Editor: Penny Murphy
