The prurient will be disappointed to learn that there's rather more politics than sex in this video, part of a themed series based on TV archive footage devoted to various aspects of 20th-century history. Amusingly, but perhaps unsurprisingly, a large proportion of the perpetrators named and shamed here turn out to be American presidents, with Watergate, Irangate, Billygate and Lewinskygate all lovingly preserved for posterity, and the complex history of the Kennedy dynasty reiterated in detail. Further afield, with the likes of Winnie Mandela and Papandreaou, the emphasis is on how some "scandals" are paid for with other people's lives, not just with a loss of credibility. The concept scores highly, simply because the very nature of TV news coverage means that the stories behind events such as these are of course first presented bit-by-bit as they unfold, whereas the chronological gathering-together of the material, as here, ensures that the events can be re-reported in continuous detail. This is one of the best titles in the series. --Roger Thomas
