Why Did Britain Let British Leyland Fail?

British Leyland was supposed to save Britain's car industry. Instead, it became one of the biggest industrial disasters in British history. From Austin and Morris to MG, Triumph, Jaguar and Rover, British Leyland brought together some of the most famous names in motoring. But behind the scenes, strikes, political interference, management failures, quality issues and growing foreign competition were slowly tearing the company apart. This documentary explores the rise and fall of British Leyland through the eyes of the workers, families and communities who lived through it. Featuring stories from Longbridge, the Allegro, Red Robbo, the Austin Metro and the people whose lives were shaped by Britain's automotive giant.
