First transmitted in 1966, John Morgan talks to Ronald Reagan, America's newest political hopeful and former film star turned Republican candidate for California's governorship. Reagan gives a consummate performance as he lays out his political views and the 'moral crusade' he plans to bring to California. He also lays out his views on foreign policy but stops short of presenting himself as a potential presidential candidate, declaring the job to be 'an awesome responsibility'.

More about this programme

This edition of People to Watch introduced Ronald Reagan to the British public at a particularly sensitive moment in American history. The war in Vietnam and the draft was becoming increasingly unpopular and the Civil Rights Movement increasingly militant. The riots that took place in the mid 1960s placed the authorities in open conflict with the protesters and the question of violence remains a controversial issue.
