What is it like to work in a palace, founded by William The Conqueror, rebuilt in Victorian Gothic splendour in which for 700 years successive Parliaments have met? Over a period of twelve months Tony Benn, regarded by many as a Parliamentary tradition, toured the palace with his camera talking to people who work there and filming places that visitors and most MP's never see. Emily Wilding Davison's broom cupboard, the hidden corridors, irreverent gargoyles, resident fire-fighters, canteen staff and engineers are among those who feature in this fascinating tour which goes beyond the ritual and public face we all know to the real work that goes on behind the closed doors of Westminister.
