Did anyone watch Ben Fogle at Chernobyl

[Toddlerteaplease]

It was fascinating, and really eerie.

Saw the first 15mins but must have briefly shut my eyes as next thing I saw were the credits! Will catch up on catch up. His voice has that effect on me as does Attenborough's 😒

I did, it was brilliant.

I remember Chernobyl happening so clearly when I was a teenager, it was utterly fascinating to see how it is now.

Yes! Really fascinating. Recommend the Sky series too if you haven’t seen it yet.

It was fascinating. I was amazed at that old lady that was still living there.

Yes, and d
The dog accompanying her on the accordion was just brilliant. Interesting that the people who have returned have lived longer than those who left.

I was fascinated. I hadn’t realised it was such a large area that was the exclusion zone.

So chilling.

I remember it happening, but was too young to appreciate the dangers.

Amazing. Fascinated by the lady living in her little home.

Yes, it was brilliant and one of the best things he’s done. I will get DH and teenage DS to watch it over the weekend.

From the original Alan Partridge concept to delivering a masterful, insightful and downright historically significant piece of TV, well done Ben. And I’m neither his mum nor his wife.

I thought it was brilliant too, really interesting.

Terrifying that people have stolen things for souvenirs. To me that's worse than having a bomb in your house.

Pripyat would have been some city when it was thriving.

What channel please so I can find it on catch up?

Channel 5.

Thanks

Great programme. Loads of information about the disaster and the ongoing clean up. Also some interesting people, and animals!
