In  December 1985 Radio 1 broadcast "Peace on Earth" which was made by
the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

It was aired a couple of times during Xmas 1985.

This is the Easter repeat on Anne Nightingale's show in 1986

It's a mixture of original music and news events.

Dramatic references include

Maggie Thatcher / Ronald Ray Gun
Hiroshima = Atomic War
Belsen = African Famine
Northern Ireland Violence
Miner's Strike
Police Brutality
Apartheid
Inner City Riots
Heysel
Live Aid
Civil Rights
Peace on Earth

Unfortunately I missed the first few minutes, so it is slightly short of
its original 30 minutes.

I remember this won a Sony Radio Award.

Its subject and sounds (DX7 preset 26 anyone?) certainly date it, but it
was  well done.
