Episodes
Portents
When the attempted coup of 19 August failed to topple Gorbachev, the makers of this series about the battle for perestroika returned to the USSR. Thanks to their special access to
Kremlin insiders, including Politburo members, enough material was gathered to make two further programmes. Tonight, Portents traces through frank interviews the rising tensions, warning signs and machinations that preceded Gorbachev's arrest while on holiday.
Coup
The last programme in the series features an exclusive interview with President Mikhail Gorbachev. The inside story is told by Gorbachev himself and all those who were closest to him, both in Foros in the Crimea, where he was imprisoned, and in Moscow.
Plus the first British showing of the interrogations of the coup leaders, including the KGB Chief and the Minister of Defence.
