- Synopsis:
"A Year to Remember", the classic series that recalls the definitive events of the twentieth century, compiles contemporary news coverage drawn from the World-Famous BBC and British Rathe Archives. This programme details not only the major political issues that dominated the day, but also key social changes and cultural trends. This hour-long episode chronicles that remarkable year, 1988. In this significant leap year Australia marks the 200th anniversary of the arrival of the country's first settlers, whilst Aborigines continue their campaign for land rights. The Soviet Union recognizes and celebrates 1000 years of Christianity in their country. Gold Rush fever hits the Amazon as men and women venture deep into the heart of the jungle in search of riches. Hurricane Gilbert smashes its way across the Caribbean, leaving death and destruction in its wake. On the bright side, the British population shows compassion and generosity as Comic Relief launches its very first Red Nose Day and raises an eye-watering £15 million for charitable causes. 1988 was certainly a year to remember. - Studio:
