From Nixon's 'our-little-dog-
Checkers' speech in 1952 to his advice, more than 30 years later, that all presidential hopefuls should get themselves a good make-up artist.... this is a fascinating story in which the author, and doyen of Washington watchers, Theodore H. White , traces the history of television's impact on presidential campaigning. It is all here: three decades of dirty tricks, key commercials, vital moments.... the triumphs and the tragedies.
In America television is not just an important weapon on the campaign trail; it is the only one that really matters....

Adapted in two parts by Mark Harris
with Ian Sharp as James Boswell, Moira Redmond as Lady Northumberland, John Welsh as the Duke of Queensberry and Annette Lynton as Louisa

At the age of 22 James Boswell left Edinburgh for London to seek fame and fortune as a wit and man-about-town. He was probably unaware that his greatest fame would come from his extremely frank journal.
