Campbell criticises'fanciful' Blair film

Former spin doctor Alastair Campbell has criticised a new BBC film about Tony Blair and Bill Clinton's relationship – calling it "fanciful and preposterous".

The Special Relationship, made by BBC Films with US outfit HBO, sees Michael Sheen reprise his role as Mr Blair and has been written by Peter Morgan, who penned The Queen. Campbell said: “The gap between what actually happened and what is portrayed is even bigger in The Special Relationship than in The Queen.
