A great HP programme from Michael Cockerell here on BBC iplayer. He looks at the TV election debates in the USA and compares them to the debate on having an election debate in the UK. Some fascinating behind the scenes footage from the American presidential campaigns, including the most recent between Obama and McCain, and insight into why up till now there have not been any election debates between the leaders in the UK. Original footage and analysis of the 1960 election debate and a particularly candid interview with George Bush Sr are highlights!
