Three programmes to mark the first anniversary of Bill Clinton's election as the 42nd President of the United States.

9.00 Fine Cut: the War Room
The chaos and drama of battle is revealed - the battle to install the Democratic candidate In the White House. Focusing on chief political strategist James Carville and communications director George Stephanopoulos, the film covers critical moments during the Clinton campaign, to which the film-makers had exclusive access.
In spite of this, recalls producer R J Cutler, "there were times when we had to sneak between Secret Service lines, and we never knew when they would tell us to stop filming".
The story begins in the contemporary war room at the Democratic Convention In New York City and continues at the Clinton/Gore headquarters in Little Rock, Arkansas. We drive through middle America on the campaign bus and witness the frantic and exuberant final days leading up to the election.
The film was made by the acclaimed documentarist DA Pennebaker who made his name with rock-music films such as tonight's Ziggy Stardust ... - being shown on BBC at 12.05am - and his wife Chris Hegedus.

A year in the life of the Clintons - just a young couple from
Arkansas who wanted change... and got it. They found themselves setting up home in Washington, and things started to happen. Long-lost relatives appeared, traffic ground to a halt when Bill went for a morning jog, and they met their favourite movie stars.
Presented by American comedian Mo Gaffney.

From Washington, journalist Michael Kinsley invites a group of politicians, writers and commentators to assess President Clinton's short but eventful record. How much power does the President have, and what should the American people expect from him? Is there now a perceptible difference in the political atmosphere after a decade of Republican leadership?
