Three new dramas imagine key moments in the Clintons’ lives together, closely based on the published accounts and opinions of those who’ve witnessed their enduring partnership.

Three entertaining new dramas imagine key moments in the Clintons’ personal and political lives together, closely based on the published accounts and opinions of those who’ve witnessed their enduring partnership.

2008, and Hillary Clinton is running for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. A long-heralded, well-organised and well-funded candidate, the figures are all going her way, until a charismatic young Senator from Illinois starts to make speeches. And as the race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton goes down to the wire, is Bill's role in her campaign the real problem?

Everything Hillary does - including her decision to fight on, or withdraw - is somehow being weighed in 'The Man Scale'...
