Former ITN Correspondent Paul Davies describes how he brought Romania's revolution to the world in Christmas 1989 amid a dramatic siege on a TV station.

Communist dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu was overthrown after his latest violent crackdown of protestors had led hundreds of thousands to the streets of Bucharest. His brutal 24 year rule had been defined by suppressing civil liberties, leaving much of the country in poverty. Over a thousand were killed in the days of fighting that followed, in what became Europe's bloodiest anti-communist uprising.

Reporting History sees journalists join News At Ten anchor Tom Bradby to revisit their remarkable reports from the defining events of the modern age and reveal the drama that occurred off camera.

Sleeping on the floor of the state television station, which had become the heart and voice of the revolution, Paul and his team captured Bucharest's final street battles up close, as Ceaușescu's notorious secret police and remaining loyalists tried to regain control.
