Thunderbird Releasing Alternative 3
Description
First broadcast as part of the Science Report documentary series, 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 1997 , and was in fact a sci-fi drama - a deadpan heir to The War Of The Worlds . But after its broadcast world-wide that same week, Alternative 3 clearly shoed 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.
