‘7/7: The London Bombings’/ Broadcast Design / Client: The Slate Works

As part of the team at Peepshow created the Graphics & Visual Design for the four-part BBC TWO documentary series ‘7/7: The London Bombings’, the story of the biggest police investigation in British history. Over 400 graphic sequences were created for the series, painstakingly rebuilding evidence from scratch as B&W photocopies, creating monitor-based CCTV/Situation Reports, Split screens & rostrum style photo sequences.

On 7 July 2005, four bombs were detonated on London’s transport system, blowing up three trains and a bus. 52 people were killed. Hundreds injured. From the worst attack of its kind in the UK, began one of the most chaotic and significant moments in the history of our capital city and the police and security services who protect it. Another series of attempted bombings followed and in the subsequent manhunt, the police shot dead an innocent man. This series follows the investigation forensically and painstakingly, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.
