CBBC tackles 7/7 terrorism

UK kids channel CBBC has made its first foray into docudrama with a commission that will tell the story of London's 7/7 terror bombings - in which 52 people died - through the eyes of children.

CBBC has enlisted Mark Redhead, the acclaimed producer behind drama docs Bloody Sunday, about the killing of Northern Irish demonstrators by British troops, and The Murder of Stephen Lawrence, to oversee the new project.

The Hat Trick show was commissioned by CBBC controller Alison Sharman and newly-installed head of drama Jon East, who will exec produce the 7/7 show with Redhead, Hat Trick's head of drama.
