Exec Producer: Mark Roberts

Raw Cut Television for Channel 5

Editor: Dan Knight– Episode 3

This brand-new series looks at shocking stories of airline disasters.

Dan Knight edited Ep3  ‘Storm Britannia’ which looks at the case of a holiday flight from Cardiff to the Costa Brava that encountered a terrifying electrical storm and battled severe weather while attempting to land. Just feet from the ground, the runway lights failed, plunging the airport into darkness. Despite these challenges, the crew of Britannia Airways Flight 266A had to land the aircraft blind.

We chatted to Dan about his experience cutting episode 3. He discussed “It was great show. We had lots of funs building up the tension in the edits with some epic sound design- lots of drums, drones, and thunder! It mixes archive with dramatic reconstruction and VFX to make a genuinely hair raising episode. The whole team were really great to work with, with nice production values and great contributors. I think we’ve delivered a show that punches well above its weight in terms budget and schedule. I was only sad that we didn’t get to make some more. Hopefully Channel 5 will commission another series!”.

Episode 1 and 2 are available on My 5. Each episode will air on Friday nights at 9pm.

Dan’s Episode, Ep 3 will air 2^nd Aug!
