I&#8217;m also delighted to be teaming up again with Louis Theroux and his new company Mindhouse to undertake this challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strang added, \u201cThe shocking story of the Lockerbie bombing is remarkably under told in documentary form, especially given the scale of the attack and human loss and its global repercussions. It\u2019s a privilege to have the opportunity to hear from those closest to the story\u2014particularly the families involved\u2014and also to work with a brilliant director like John Dower, who I know will honor their testimonies and the continuing search for the truth about what happened and why.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Production has begun on Lockerbie (w.t.), a new three-part series about the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, for Sky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":18966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[4869,5977,617,4048],"class_list":["post-18965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-mindhouse-productions","tag-nbcuniversal-global-distribution","tag-sky","tag-sky-studios","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>New Lockerbie Docuseries for Sky - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-lockerbie-docuseries-for-sky\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New Lockerbie Docuseries for Sky - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Production has begun on Lockerbie (w.t.), a new three-part series about the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, for Sky.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-lockerbie-docuseries-for-sky\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-11-04T15:20:36+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Sky-Lockerbie-1122.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-lockerbie-docuseries-for-sky\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-lockerbie-docuseries-for-sky\/\",\"name\":\"New Lockerbie Docuseries for Sky - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-11-04T15:20:36+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-11-04T15:20:36+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-lockerbie-docuseries-for-sky\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-lockerbie-docuseries-for-sky\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/new-lockerbie-docuseries-for-sky\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"New Lockerbie Docuseries for Sky\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
