Hey,
I'm trying to remember a documentary we were shown in school in 1999, I don't think it was more than a year or so old at that point. Pretty sure it was a BBC show, possibly broadcast on BBC Two, but I might be wrong.
It was a clip show presenting archive footage of news stories with captions putting them in context, covering the course of a few decades with pop music of the year being shown playing in the background. Occasionally there would be a cut from the news clips to part of the video of the song being played.
I think it was part of a short series, with each episode being on a particular topic, and that the episode we were shown was on the environment. The one thing I really distinctly remember is that part of the 1980s section played "Heaven is a Place on Earth" and featured a small part of the video.
I know that this is a long shot, but if anyone can remember what this show was you'll have my thanks.
