Our Own Correspondent: Tuesday's Documentary

on BBC One London

A further chapter in Malcolm Muggeridge's television autobiography

Twenty years ago during the administration of Harry Truman, Malcolm Muggeridge worked in the United States as the Washington correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph. After two years at the centre of the Western political world he came to the conclusion that he would rather be on the periphery, and left with relief.
Last year Muggeridge returned to Washington to retread his old paths, to visit again the capital 'whose only industry is government and whose only output is words,' and to see whether his reactions remained the same combination of bemusement and foreboding.
This film records these reactions.
