A reader asks….
“As a matter of interest, did anyone see Matt Frei’s three part series on Berlin? Overall it was enjoyable and sympathetic. but his treatment of the fall of the Wall made no mention whatever of Ronald Reagan – having portrayed JFK as a continuing inspiration – certainly no footage of the Gipper’s call for Mr Gorbachev to \’tear down that wall\’. He contented himself with the remark that east Germany ‘imploded’ with no further explanation or contextualisation than that. Quite dreadful.
