Watergate

Watergate (1994)

EndedDocumentary showHistory

Twenty years ago Richard Nixon became the first US president to resign, following the Watergate scandal. Two years earlier five men, intending to bug the building, had been caught breaking into the Democratic Party head-quarters in Washington, DC. Two of those convicted were members of Nixon's re-election committee.

This series, from the team who made The Second Russian Revolution, tells the story in greater detail than has been previously possible, with access to newly uncovered evidence including notes and film made by former White House chief of staff H R Haldeman.

Impeachment

President Richard Nixon clung to the White House as evidence against him mounted. The special prosecutor was a southern conservative, and he had allies on the House of Representatives committee. But the automatic taping system he himself had ordered to be installed in the Oval Office contained damning evidence. As more and more tapes were reluctantly surrendered, he found himself increasingly isolated. In the last programme of this series, the House votes for impeachment, and Nixon is left in no doubt that he will be found guilty. Only then does he decide to become the first president to resign from office.
