How to Win the TV Debate
1
With Britain's first-ever political leaders' television debate imminent, award-winning reporter Michael Cockerell uncovers what it's like to take part in these contests and how leaders try to win them. He tells the inside story of why it has taken so long for such debates to arrive in the UK. The programme features candid interviews with US Presidents and their advisers on the tricks of the debate trade. Blending new film and behind-the-scenes footage, some never seen before, it's a tragicomic tale of high politics and low cunning. From John F Kennedy and Richard Nixon through to Barack Obama, candidates are seen being prepared for their debates, then in the sometimes funny, sometimes disastrous results on live television. Cockerell shows why for our would-be next Prime Ministers - Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg - the three debate stages across Britain will be what one former US President calls 'Tension City'.

Mike Wallace is here

Jul 26, 2019
Mike Wallace est le journaliste qui a inventé les interviews télévisées sans compromis et est devenu une icône de l'émission d'investigation d'actualité 60 minutes. Après presque un demi-siècle d'interviews, il prend la place de l'interviewé. Le film raconte l’histoire personnelle et professionnelle de Wallace - des montagnes russes abruptes - à travers des archives fascinantes de ses célèbres entretiens approfondis avec Martin Luther King, Richard Nixon, Barbara Streisand, Vladimir Poutine et beaucoup d’autres, ainsi que de certains de ses entretiens. Brillant et très drôle, Wallace n’a pas peur de l’honnêteté. Le film est un miroir intelligent et inquiétant du journalisme d’aujourd’hui.
