The Great Fire of London with Rob Rinder & Ruth Goodman
Rob Rinder and Ruth Goodman do more than guide us through the scorched streets of 1666. They fan sparks in the archives, transforming dry facts into human dramas. The judge and the historian become detectives investigating not only the catastrophe's causes but its social explosion. Why did the flames spread so rapidly? Who was accused of arson, and how did ordinary Londoners try to save their belongings? The program explores not just physical destruction but the psychological shock of a society on the brink of a new era. Using modern technology and meticulous reconstruction, viewers will see how modern London—with its first fire safety rules and urban planning norms—rose from the ashes.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Rinder brings a legal precision and incisiveness to the documentary form, while Goodman offers profound immersion in the period's material culture. Their duo creates a dynamic dialogue between fact and context, law and daily life.
Those who tire of dry chronology will find an investigation where every witness—from the king to the apprentice—gets a voice. What lingers after is the tangible drama, complete with the smell of smoke and the clamor of alarm bells. — MovieFinder Editorial

With a strong cup of tea at midday, as light falls on an old book of engravings.
