| Summary |
*Coarse Language*In this new four-part series, UK comedian Andrew Maxwell takes conspiracy theorists on a road trip to confront the truth about their beliefs. In episode 1, Andrew examines the 7/7 London bombings. It's been over seven years since one of the worst terrorist atrocities in recent British history took place. Unbelievably, some people question the official version of events and think the British establishment orchestrated its own 9/11-style attacks in order to firm up support for the war in Iraq.Comedian Andrew Maxwell thinks this is nonsense and, in an effort to tackle the truth, he's taking four such conspiracy believers on a road trip from Leeds to London to recreate the exact journey the bombers took. Each one believes a different conspiracy took place, from claiming the train times were falsified by the Government to denying home-made bombs could have caused such damage.They will talk to eyewitnesses, families of victims, government officials and specialists to learn the truth about what happened that day.PRODUCTION DETAILS:4 x 60 minutes. A Renegade Pictures Production for the BBC |
