The Great Fire – a three-part series – airs this Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 8pm on Channel Five. I’m really proud of it, and was delighted to work with Rob Bell and (again) with Dan Jones. Do tune in!
With the team, on Tower Bridge.
In the archaeological archives.

With my on-screen husband, at St Paul’s.
Filming near Monument on a windy day!
Those pipes and beer mug and belt buckles come from the time of the fire, and even show scorch marks.
Filming our opening PTC near Monument.
My lovely red coat comes from Beatrice Perry London.
Here we are on the spot when it all began.
Filming on Tower Bridge.
It was all deadly serious.

Interesting t9 see the archaeological finds. I look forward to the series. Glad you didn’t start another fire with those lanterns!
The sudden plethora of History programmes is wonderful. We have so many wonderful historians presenting them in a truly accessible manner. Nothing Po-faced or too academic, just accurate, engaging history. So a huge thank you to Suzannah Lipscomb; Dan Snow; Lucy Worsley; Kate Williams; Janina Ramirez; Alice Roberts; Neil Oliver; Mary Beard and anyone I have forgotten to name.
