Anneka Rice has marked 30 years since her groundbreaking TV show revealed the horrific conditions of a pure squalor Romanian orphanage - in footage which sent shockwaves across the country.
A 1990 episode of hit BBC reality show Challenge Anneka saw the presenter tasked with overhauling an orphanage in Siret, Romania.
Some 700 children - dubbed incurables - lived in the home, which had no electricity or sanitation and sewage running along the corridor .
Now, 30 years on, Anneka told BBC Radio 4 s Reunion - a programme looking back on the enormous renovation task - of the extraordinary legacy which began when former-teacher Monica McDaid wrote to the BBC about the appalling situation.
