A Money Programme special, part of the season marking the fifth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. When the Wall fell, a vision of a new, united Europe swept the continent.
Five years on, that vision is fading with West European politicians fearing the cost of closer relationships with their far poorer Eastern neighbours. Michael Robinson travels to Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic and finds the early euphoria is being replaced by uncertainty and apprehension.
Transcript: for a transcript of this programme please write to BBC, [address removed] (telephone [number removed]).
An exciting new venture for TV, in which a diverse cross-section of people from all over Britain review the past week through their own eyes and in their own words. Armed with camcorders, the contributors provide a day-by-day record of the week as it really was, a mix of national stories and personal dramas.
Second of two programmes which tell the story which led up to the events of 9 November 1989 and the collapse of the Berlin Wall.
Members of the East German Politburo, policemen who were given arms to fire on dissidents, the man on the gate that opened the way to crowds flooding through, and Mikhail Gorbachev whose change of policy enabled it to happen, all tell exactly how one of the great events of 20th-century history came to happen.

Hamlet has been behaving badly, and Claudius sends for his boyhood friends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to find out why. The friends are at a loss, but one thing's certain: there is something rotten in the state of Denmark.
