None of us here will ever have the chance to cry again. Others will be weeping for us. Ren6 Cutforlh and Edward Ward tell the story which ended 30 years ago this year with the surrender of the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad on the Volga.
GILLIAN REYNOLDS wrote of the first broadcast in The Guardian: ' Beneath the feet of victors and vanquished alike lay the field of bodies so memorably described by Olga Tamar ina. a former member of the Red Army. All the while the picture bit of my brain was haunted by the parallel visions from television's epic War and Peace - Pierre on the snow-covered field of Borodino, the bitter defeat of a seemingly unvanquishable army. the sorrow and suifering of war.'

Pentecostalism has been called the 'third force' in the Christian world, after Roman Catholicism and Protestantism.
Now many of its insights are spreading to the historic churches in 'the Charismatic Movement' - described by some as equal in force to the founding of the Apostolic Church and the Reformation.
Tonight's programme explains and explores the phenomenon of the Charismatic Movement and its influence on the religious life of Britain today. Has one of the mysteries of the early church been revived? Presented by Ian McIntyre
