I can recommend "Live from Downing Street" by Nick Robinson - it contrasts the media styles of all of the PMs (at least since there has been a "media" reporting on Parliament):

Personally, I think this country is long overdue a Attlee, Bevan or even a Thatcher - leaders who actually believed in something.
