'The Corridors of Power: An Even Bet' (Sunday 22nd June 2003 , 3:00 p.m.) 
It's 1955 and Eliot has turned 50. He was blessed with a beautiful wife and a beautiful child. Although not a career civil servant, he was now a fixture in Whitehall. His job was to co-ordinate Britian's atomic bomb project - not a task he relished. The Cold War cast a chill shadow across them all. One spring evening in [bad word] up to the General Election, he and his wife, Margaret, were invited to a party in Lord North Street, the London home of Roger Quaife, a youngish Conservative MP who was beginning to be talked about. It was an evening that set Eliot on one of the most extraordinary adventures of his career. 

Dramatised by Jonathan Holloway from C. P. Snow's 1964 novel, "The Corridors of Power".
