It's exactly 30 years ago today since the start of Britain's biggest rave, at Castlemorton Common. To hear what happened when 30,000 people partied in a small village, and how it led to a change in the law, take a listen to my @BBCRadio4 documentary: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
Missed it last night on ITV1? My documentary, Sycamore Gap: Britain's Lost Landmark, is now available to stream on ITVX. itv.com/watch/sycamore…
🚨 Tonight, ITV1, 1045pm 🚨 I've got the full story of the felling of the Sycamore Gap tree, hearing from those who lived it, those who looked after it, and the police officer who cracked the case. | Sycamore Gap: Britain's Lost Landmark |
This is going to be fascinating - well worth a watch on @ITV tonight at 1045pm Reporter @tombarton went in search of more information about the pair who chopped down the tree for a special documentary 🌳Sycamore Gap: Britain's Lost Landmark. Produced by @JoshSteadITV 📺
Our documentary, Britain’s Lost Landmark, airs on @ITV tonight at 2245 and on @ITVX @tombarton investigates why two men cut down the Sycamore Gap tree in the dead of night, and how police brought them to justice 🌳
If anyone's near a radio for the next hour my Radio 4 documentary about the 1990s rave scene 'A Succession of Repetitive Beats' is being repeated at 8pm. Missed it? It's still on BBC Sounds here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
Pretty chuffed to find my Sycamore Gap documentary sandwiched between the Dark Knight Trilogy and Protection on the front page of ITVX. If you're interested in the strangest court case I've ever reported on, the full story is here: itv.com/.../sycamo.../…
