Episode 1

On 7 July 2005, four bombs explode in London. Detectives, survivors, emergency services and victims' families relive the moment. Who did it, and will the bombers strike again?

On 7 July 2005, bombs are detonated at Aldgate, Edgware Road and Russell Square. An hour later, another bomb blows up on a bus at Tavistock Square.

The police had no idea it was the work of suicide bombers. At the same time, at Cobra, the prime minister demands answers. Forensic officers carry out a detailed search, and a CCTV coordinator steps over body parts at Tavistock Square, trying to find evidence. But the police still aren鈥檛 certain if this is the work of suicide bombers.

Meanwhile, the casualty telephone line is inundated as 47,000 people ring in the first hour. Will the police find out who did it before they strike again?
