The year 1976 was Harder Than World War 2 for Britain
Do you remember the long, hot summer of 1976? The year the tarmac melted on the M1, the taps ran dry, and the government had to appoint a "Minister for Drought."
For many, 1976 is just a date in a history book. But for those of us who lived through it, it was the ultimate test of endurance. It wasn't just a heatwave; it was a battle for survival. With inflation skyrocketing, potatoes costing more than gold, and standpipes appearing in the streets, Britain was on its knees.
In this documentary, we uncover the forgotten reality of the 1976 Crisis. Beyond the sunshine and ice creams, this is the story of the economic nightmare, the ladybird plague that swarmed the coast, and the forest fires that ravaged the countryside.
But most importantly, this is the story of how WE survived. It’s a story of community spirit, resilience, and the day the rains finally returned.

The 1976 Drought Act and water rationing.
The legend of Denis Howell (Minister for Drought).
