Channel 5 has commissioned a one-off, feature-length documentary that follows presenter Ben Fogle as he spends a week living inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, thirty-five years after the world’s worst nuclear accident.
Ben Fogle: Inside Chernobyl is produced by Remarkable Television. The team was given special access deep inside the exclusion zone and the deserted towns and forest, including the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant itself. Anyone entering the newly-opened control room is limited to just five minutes for radiation safety reasons.
Fogle will also explore the ruins of Hospital 126 and talks to a policeman who was on duty the night of the explosion.
November-December restrictions total 9.5m
