If like me you lived through the Watergate scandal and resignation of Richard Nixon, president of the United States? This brilliant documentary series on iPlayer - the farrago of lies and criminality: Watergate. The five part programme was first produced in 1994 is a tour de force of investigative journalism. Nixon eventually resigns and left office at noon on 9 August 1974. The vice president Gerald Ford, then took over the presidency. Richard Nixon, was pardoned by Ford, a month later. Nixon a few years on was interviewed by David Frost, that had an enormous audience worldwide. It was also made into a compelling drama by Peter Morgan, in 2006. This episode in contemporary America history has a resonance today with the sculduggery surrounding Trump. This series is highly recommended.
