... a couple of great political movies on BBC4 this evening.

First up, at 7.15 is The Candidate, how the classic liberal played by Robert Redford is corrupted.

Then at 10.00 is Primary Colors, the movie of Joe Klein's analysis of the first Clinton campaign. Not as good as the book but a more than adequate film. Emma Thompson is, as always, superb.

Surprising how many good political movies have been made by Hollywood - Mr Smith goes to Washington, Advise and Consent, The Parallax View. The BBC should show them more frequently.
