Until the beginning of The Clintons: A Marriage Of Power (World, 10pm) most of us had probably decided we had heard more over the last year than we would ever want to know about Bill and Hillary.
One of the reasons why this series actually leaves one wanting to know more, is that it goes not just beyond the headlines, but straight to the players who created them.
These people not only include spinmeisters like Dick Morris, but also the journalists who spent so many months digging around to find something to stick on Teflon Bill.
This evening in Big Dreams, presenter Michael Elliott of Newsweek takes us through the first painful years of the first Clinton administration. In last week's opening programme about the Arkansas years, Elliott was unable to stop a note of hostility from creeping into his otherwise outstanding commentary.
In those days, nothing seemed to be able to hold this dazzling young couple back. Every obstacle was vaulted over, with a confidence that turned to arrogance.
Within a year of getting to Washington, the Clintons had faced more setbacks, disasters and tragedies than in all their previous careers, and even Elliott begins to feel sorry for them.
