In this polished, surreal production spanning decades, Nye looks back at his life, from his childhood as the son of a coal miner father growing up in Tredegar, South Wales, to his rise as a politician who changed the health service for us all. Nye was an enigmatic powerhouse, but interestingly, we first meet him at his most vulnerable: in a hospital bed in pyjamas, being wheeled back onto a ward after having an operation. It is 1960, and while Nye is dying, his beloved NHS is flourishing.
