Reagan

Excellent programme on Ronald Reagan, narrated by Gavin Esler, on BBC Two. Fair minded, comprehensive and genuinely interesting (albeit with little new).

It also had a clip of the famous Reagan 'I have outlawed Russia - the bombing starts in five minutes' which I had never seen before.

Await the squeals of Biased BBC,

"But it didn't say he single-handedly won the cold war, banned taxes, doubled GNP and hunted foxes!"
