Looking good on TV

Update: 1988-09-30

Description

As the presidential candidates debate on TV, political prowess seems to be in the eye of the beholder.

This archive edition of Letter from America was recorded by one of two listeners, who between them taped and labelled over 650 Letter From America programmes from 1973 to 1989. It was restored by the BBC in 2014.
