Investigation, Public Backlash, and FCC Scrutiny

On Halloween night, in 1992, an unusual television special aired on the BBC. Nobody expected what happened next. “The technicians were looking up at the big screen in the lobby, saying to each other, ‘My God, what's going on in Studio One?’” 

This episode was first released in 2022.
