THE GREAT FIRE: LONDON BURNS, 8PM, CH5
OVER four days in September 1666, a vast inferno raged through London, consuming everything in its path and causing damage that, had the fire happened today, would cost £37 billion. But, though still firmly seared into our consciousness, how much do we really know about the Great Fire? Showing on consecutive nights, this fascinating three-part series finds historians Dan Jones and Suzannah Lipscomb joined by engineer Rob Bell to explore one of the most momentous events in our history, which began with a tiny
spark, in a bakery.
