Why did the Tories vote against the NHS? Why did Nye and Jennie receive faeces and fireworks through their letterbox? And why were the doctors Nye’s biggest battle yet?
To celebrate 75 years of the NHS, all is explained in the third episode of this documentary series of how a ‘no-good boyo’ from the Welsh Valleys came to create one of Britain’s greatest institutions.
