Storyville: Gorbachev. Heaven, 9.00pm, BBC Four
Here’s a timely repeat, owing to the recent death of Mikhail Gorbachev.
As the architect of Glasnost and Perestroika, he helped to shape the latter deacdes of the 20th century.
His actions brought down the Berlin Wall, giving countries of the former Soviet Union a chance to break away from Russian rule.
But while to many in the west he remains a hero, in his own country Gorbachev was condemned for destroying the Soviet Empire.
This film is an intimate portrait of the man who, until his death in August at the age of 91, carried the burdens of his past.
