This BBC Two priority campaign is to promote two programmes scheduled together to capitalise on the renewed interest in oratory that has been sparked by President Obama’s exceptional skill as a speaker.

In this spot we see young children lip sync to JFK's inaugral address, demonstrating the power of speech.The Speaker, a factual entertainment show, is the main event – an 8-episode series in which 14-18yr olds from across the UK compete in front of a celebrity panel to become crowned as Britain’s Best Young Public Speaker.A 60” documentary fronted by Alan Yentob entitled ‘The Lost Art of Oratory’ will follow episode 1 of The Speaker taking a fond and irreverent look at the art and history of political speech.
