BBC Factual has ordered Britain’s Nuclear Test Veterans<\/em> (w.t.) and OceanGate<\/em> (w.t.) for BBC Two and iPlayer.<\/p>\n

The hour-long Britain’s Nuclear Test Veterans<\/em>, from Hardcash Productions, tells the story of Britain\u2019s postwar atomic weapons program and the consequences for the service personnel who took part. The film raises questions about the legacy and human costs of Britain\u2019s race to become a global nuclear power.<\/p>\n

Also an hour long, OceanGate<\/em> examines what exactly went wrong with the submersible that caused it to implode. From Discovery Channel (U.S.), CBC (Canada) and ZDF (Germany), it is a U.K.-Canada treaty co-production of Renegade Stories in the U.K. and Galafilm in Quebec, Canada.<\/p>\n

Jack Bootle, head of commissioning for specialist factual, said: \u201cThese are two hugely exciting films for specialist factual at the BBC. I was stunned when I read the treatment for Britain\u2019s Nuclear Test Veterans<\/em>, which explores the extraordinary legacy of Britain\u2019s nuclear testing program in the ’50s. It\u2019s a film that should shock the nation. And with incredible access to the ongoing coastguard investigation, OceanGate<\/em> tells the inside story of how the Titan submersible disaster unfolded. It\u2019s complex, moving and horribly gripping.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
