Michael Cockerell talks to Betty Boothroyd, the daughter of an unemployed mill worker who began her career as a Tiller Girl and went on to become the first female speaker of the House of Commons in 1992.

Her public style, which combined down-to-earth directness with show-business flair, earned her an international reputation. This profile uses rare archive footage and contributions from close friends in its exploration of her life and career.

First broadcast in 2000.
