Saw the re-run of 1955 a few weeks back. Richard Dimbleby hosted with very young looking Bob McKenzie and Robin Day. Everyone was unbelieveably polite. The Tories won a majority of seats in Liverpool and Glasgow and in all of Scotland. Two years later Sir Anthony Eden was history because of an ill-conceived middle east war. Time was.

I'd like to see more general election re-runs.
