This year has been a year of momentous changes and mixed feelings.
The physical and political geography of Eastern Europe was redrawn, symbolised by the dismantling of the Berlin Wall. But the growing pains of democracy in China culminated in tragedy.
At home, inflation shot up, mortgage rates rose and house prices fell. Mrs Thatcher 's tenth anniversary was overshadowed by mid-term blues that turned into a crisis. Meanwhile the Labour Party staged its most successful party conference for 25 years.
It was a year of sadness; the Hillsborough disaster left 95 dead. But it was also a year of personal joy when the release of the Guildford Four gave the innocent a chance to rebuild their lives.
And sport produced its usual quota of conquering heroes. Liverpool in the FA Cup, Mike Tyson in the boxing ring and the brilliant Desert Orchid at Cheltenham.
Presenter: Jonathan Dimbleby. Deputy editor ALEX GERLIS Editor JAMES HOGAN
Starring and Security expert Joe Collins decides to take a special interest in his latest job - the installation of a sophisticated alarm system in a large bank. Joe has plans to commit the perfect robbery, one which the victims - all of them crooks - cannot report.
