It was originally broadcast inSeptember 2009 on ITV1 as one of the final programmes of The South BankShow and is now being made available in an extended version.This is a film about a family, a family which has ruled the theatre in Bayreuth in southernGermany for the last 140 years, some say still the greatest threatre in the world. There'sno doubt that Richard Wagner who built it was the most influential composer in the whole of the 19th Century. But his family has survived a mixture of lies, deception, fraud and dangerous political alliances. The story of this family is a soap opera that makesCoronation Street look like Noddy-in-Toyland. It’s a family – in many ways the Royal familyof Germany – at war with itself.

Whitney Elizabeth Houston known as 'The Voice' is one of the most successful pop stars of all time with some 170 million records sold. Signed by the legendary Clive Davis she scorched the charts with such hits as You Give Good Love I Wanna Dance with Somebody Greatest Love of All and I Will Always Love You from the hit 1992 movie 'The Bodyguard'. But her personal life was less successful. She married Bobby Brown in 1992 and theirs has been a tumultuous relationship plagued by persistent rumours of drug abuse. They starred in a TV show Being Bobby Brown that did more to harm Whitney's career than help it. In 2007 the couple filed for divorce and Whitney was awarded custody of their daughter Bobby Kristina. In the final analysis this is the story of a woman who found unimaginable success on the stage but failed to find happiness away from the spotlight. This is her amazing story.
Using rare news footage and interviews from the BBC British Pathe and other news services this extraordinary series provides a unique year by year look at what was making the news in that most colourful of decades - The 1980s. With a whole hour long show on each year the result is an amazing insight into the decade of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Regan Yuppies big hair New Romantics Perestroika and designer everything! The decade was a time of huge contrasts for the United Kingdom. The unabated rise of capitalist culture in the ideal of a share and property-owning democracy was in stark contrast to the privations of the year-long miner's strike and record unemployment - contributing factors to the ever widening North-South divide. Against the backdrop of the ongoing cold war British troops were at war with Argentina over the Falklands Islands and closer to home civil unrest in Northern Ireland continued to claim lives. Riots in Brixton and Toxteth brought anarchy to British city centres. The whole world was shocked by the Chernobyl disaster the Challenger explosion and people across the globe mourned the murder of John Lennon. Relive all these events and many many more with A Year To Remember - The 1980s.
