The night when caravans flew
Article Abstract:
"Britain's Biggest Storm" is a TV documentary on ITV1 which features the 1987 hurricane in Britain. Executive producer Jim Allen came up with the idea, and there was very little actual footage available, so the production had to recreate the event. The pitching of the idea and the challenges the production team had to overcome are discussed.
