The Brighton Bomb: 7. Fight Them on the Beaches

Patrick Magee plays mouse to the cat of the Southern Irish police, acting on a tip-off from their colleagues in the North. He escapes back to Great Britain from Dublin and joins a new IRA unit planning a summer-long campaign targeting seaside resorts: more bombs in hotels and a new tactic - burying bombs on beaches. It will be the most concentrated wave of IRA attacks since the 1930s.Written and presented by Glenn PattersonSeries Producer: Owen McFadden Story Consultant and Sound Design: Alan Hall Producer: Lena Ferguson Archive Producer: Fran Rowlatt McCormick Production Co-Ordinator: Hollie Wallace Composer: Mark McCambridge Sound Engineer: Claire Marquess Mixing Engineer: Mike Woolley Patrick Magee archive courtesy of Peter Taylor and Whistledown ProductionsExecutive Producer Rachel HooperA Walk on Air production in association with Keo Films
