Hiya,I am currently researching a documentary for London Weekend Television (LWT) and am keen to talk to people who know of interesting true stories associated with dungeons. Here is some further information about the programme to give you an idea about our project.
LWT has been commissioned by the Discovery Travel Channel to make a 60 minute programme on 'Dungeons'. The programme will be a travel show looking to reveal 'hidden' secrets of British history for American tourists planning to visit the UK. The intention is to give the impression of revealing secrets that only a few know. The programme will initially be shown on American television and will have a potential audience of 40 million.
We are looking for interesting stories relating to dungeons, the torture that took place inside them, modern-day uses for dungeons and anything else related to them. We are also keen to talk to experts in the field of dungeons & torture who would be able to help us find interesting places and characters for the documentary - as well as potentially feature in the programme themselves. The programme aims to incorporate dungeons around Europe as well as the UK
I am working towards a very tight deadline and ideally I would be keen to speak to someone this week (12th March) about the programme.
I hope this information is useful. Please phone me on my number below. I look forward to hearing from you,
