Episode overview

It's home to a movie studio that helped shape the world's enduring image of the British. In the years following WW2, Ealing produced quaint, loveable comedies and stout, rousing dramas which defined the Brits as mannered, enterprising, stoic and quick-witted. Then one night, earlier this month, Ealing produced something very different - a shocking, real-life horror show. The quiet, comfortable London suburb was suddenly under siege from hoards of rampaging hoodies. Who were they, what drove the madness and will Ealing and other trashed neighbourhoods ever be the same again?
