Exactly twenty five years and 1991 draws to a close. Radio
1's Newsbeat team review the year.
The Gulf War comes to an end. (A long sequence is played over Oleta Adams's Get There: "You can reach me by
caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man.") Right Said Fred get too sexy
for their shirts. The death of Freddie Mercury. There's a wind of change blowing through the Soviet
Block (cue the Scorpions). Bryan Adams hangs onto the number one spot for an
eternity. The grey Prime Minister has his first full year as PM. Terry Waite is
released.
News 91 Review of the Year was broadcast on BBC Radio 1 on
31 December 1991.
