1988: the year the world became a safer place.
The year of Gorbachev and Reagan, and the first steps to lasting peace. But also the year Eddie the Eagle triumphed at the Olympic
Games, Ian Botham escorted a herd of elephants over the Alps, and two whales, bored of being watched by the world's press, escaped from under the ice to the open sea. As the year ends, David Dimbleby looks back at events that are already memories: some trivial, some funny, some sad, and some, for once, quite encouraging. Picture editors
