Billed as the longest programme in television history, a 24-hour panorama of work, fame, sex, the arts and poverty in Berlin two decades after the fall of the Wall will premiere on Saturday.
The mammoth programme will be broadcast in half a dozen European countries from 6:00 am Saturday until the same time on Sunday morning and be accompanied by public screenings throughout the German capital.
"24h Berlin - A Day in the Life" was filmed entirely on a single day - September 5, 2008 - and will be shown as the country gears up to celebrate 20 years since the Berlin Wall was pulled down on November 9, 1989.
