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.
