| Comment | The Making of Alternative 3
30 minute featurette with the creative team who revisit Alternative 3 and sort out fact from fiction, and did they really guess the truth 30 years ago?
First broadcast as part of the "Science Report" documentary series in the UK, Alternative 3 uncovered what appeared to be an astonishing link between Britain's "brain drain" of disappearing experts, climate change and the start of an extra-terrestrial colony. The programme ended with the credit "Anglia Television, April 1st 1977", and was in fact a sci-fi drama - a deadpan heir to "The War of the Worlds". But after its broadcast world-wide the same week, Alternative 3 clearly showed how the medium can manipulate the message, as millions were fooled by the programme which provoked front page headlines and has inspired conspiracy theories ever since.
