Cold War - Dirty Science

History1 x 50' for BBC4

Weapons of mass destruction - made in Britain.

Weapons of Mass destruction are seen as a singularly modern concern. But this film reveals the secret story of Britain's development of WMD after the second World War, half a century before Bush and Blair and 'the axis of evil'. 

During the decade following WWII, British scientists plan - not for peace - but for a war which will be fought with chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction.   This film exposes the dangerous, top secret tests, which were not just performed on British citizens, but actually put the British public at risk.
