Yesterday's Men 17 June 1971
On 17 June 1971 a documentary called Yesterday's Men was broadcast, featuring several Labour ex-Ministers, which examined how they were adjusting to life a year after their defeat in the 1970 General Election. The programme caused a fierce row with the Labour party for the way the participants were seen to have been ridiculed, and with Harold Wilson in particular for the way direct questions were posed about his business affairs. It damaged relations between the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and the Labour party, and led to a re-examination of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ editorial guidelines.
