Fire and Destiny

Series 1, episode 1

Innovative three-part series about the history of London as told by author Peter Ackroyd. By stepping into the city's past and 'interviewing' visionaries such as Tacitus, Sir Christopher Wren and Virginia Woolf, he examines the capital's strange relationship with fire - from Boadicea's torching of the city soon after its foundation by the Romans, to the Great Fire of London and the Blitz, through to the more recent bombings by the IRA
