News Review of the Year

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Halley's Comet, thought by manytobea harbinger of ill fortune, made one of its rare appearances in 1986; it was a year in which an American space shuttle exploded on take-off; and the Soviet town of Chernobyl became the scene of the world's worst nuclear accident. But there was also the joy of a royal wedding and a football World Cup enriched by the skills of the world's greatest player, Diego Maradona.
Tim Llewellyn recalls these and the many other contrasting sounds of the past 12 months. Written and produced by JONATHAN BAKER
