On 29 December 1989,
ITN spent the day with Major Mihail Lupoi
of Romania’s revolutionary council,
the National Salvation Front. One week after the fall of Nicolae Ceaușescu and just four days after the Communist dictator's execution on national television, Lupoi allowed ITN to film as he went about his revolutionary business. He also gave ITN's Paul Davies an exclusive interview in which he detailed the last days of Nicolae Ceaușescu and the reasoning behind his hurried execution. The Romanian Revolution, also known as the Christmas Revolution, was the bloodiest of the anti-Communist revolutions to sweep across eastern Europe in 1989.
