The Day Britain Stopped is a drama documentary produced by Wall to Wall for the BBC. It is based around a fictional disaster - in which a train strike is the first in a chain of events that lead to a meltdown of the country's transport system. The programme is set in late 2004 or early 2005, looking back on the fictional events of December 19, 2003. Directed by Gabriel Range, who wrote the script with producer Simon Finch, the film first aired on BBC2 in May 2003.
The drama made use of various British television news services and their newsreaders, such as Sky News, Channel 4 News, and even foreign channels (such as France's TF1). Radio Five Live was also featured several times. There were some minor discrepancies as various news channels changed their branding and presentation before December 2003, when the drama was set. It also featured the M96 motorway (a converted airfield used for fire service training) as a stage for the M25.
Several clips from real life events were edited to...
