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
