The preview begins with the newly-elected Thatcher and The Queen's first meeting at Buckingham Palace, with it being clear from the outset that the pair aren't going to see eye-to-eye.

Preparing herself for the meeting, the stoic politician says: 'I think we have enough respect for one another personally to ask ourselves one of the bigger questions woman to woman. We are the same age after all.... just six months between us.'

A somewhat rattled Queen Elizabeth says 'really? And who is the senior?' to which Thatcher responds briskly: 'I am, ma'am.'
