On April 30, 1980, six heavily armed gunmen burst into the Iranian embassy on Princes Gate, overlooking Hyde Park in London. There they took 26 hostages, including embassy staff, visitors, and four British citizens. A tense six-day siege ensued as millions gathered around screens across the country to witness the longest news flash in British television history. Join Ben Macintyre as he discusses The Siege with Julia Wheeler. Drawing on unpublished source material, including exclusive interviews with the SAS, and testimony from witnesses including hostages, negotiators, intelligence officers and the on-site psychiatrist, this is a fascinating look at what really happened.
