On Thames tomorrow, Nigel 9, the aftermath of war. Vietnam ran longer than Z-cars, and at times had popularity ratings even higher than Kojak. This is Saigon, 1978, now called Ho Chi Minh City. I left Saigon with regret on April the 29th, 1975, on one of the last helicopters on the last day of the longest war this century.

The war in the small Asian country occupied much of ten years of my life. And now I'm back with many memories and emotions, and trying to guess what has happened since. You remember yet now, a report by John Pilger, tomorrow, night at nine, here on Thames.
