A nostalgic review of the last three years of the series with Anneka Rice recalling some of the highlights - including the group of disabled people who learned to ski in two days - and some of the disasters - such as when the entire camera crew fell out of the back of the buggy. She also looks back to one of her most memorable tasks: in 1990 she was challenged to restore an orphanage in Romania.
Within a week she had to transform it into a proper home for 600 children. Tonight she finds out how the children's lives have been changed since the team visited.
