'All human life is here. Or was. There was one woman used to come here every Saturday evening regular as clockwork and read out the football results. Sat there on her husband's grave, just like at home by the fireplace, "Are you ready,

2: The Unholy Alliance
NATO is under fire - not from the Soviet Union but from its own members: 16 nations with as many views on how the Alliance should be run and how relations with the Soviet Union should be conducted. The origins of the internal conflicts are not President Reagan's attack on Libya but the events of the 1950s that led to the Alliance basing its strategy on nuclear weapons.
In the second of three progammes investigating the history and future of NATO, Christopher Lee , the BBC's Defence and Foreign Affairs Correspondent, shows, for example, that the decision to base Cruise missiles in Europe was taken for political rather than military reasons. NATO's Supreme Allied Commander, Secretary-General Lord
Carrington, and experts from
Europe, the USA, the USSR and Eastern Europe examine the Alliance and its future. Producer BLAIR THOMSON
