Dick Cavett's Watergate, PBS America, Wednesday, 9pm (not available to all UPC viewers)

With exclusive access to the archive of the show, DICK CAVETT’S WATERGATE documents the scandal in the words of the people who lived it: from the botched burglary at the Democratic National Headquarters; to the must-see TV of the daily Congressional Watergate hearings; to the ongoing behind-the-scenes battle between the White House and “The Dick Cavett Show,” culminating with the resignation of President Nixon on August 9, 1974. DICK CAVETT’S WATERGATE offers a unique opportunity to mark the 40th anniversary of a defining moment in American history.
The Bin Laden Conspiracy, BBC2, 11.20pm

However, as more information about the raid began to emerge, investigative journalist Seymour Hersh began to claim the story was fabricated. Making use of newly released documents detailing life in bin Laden's compound, Jane re-evaluates the evidence Hersh has used to make his arguments, and reconstructs the last few days of the man who - at the time - was considered the world's most wanted terrorist.
