Iranian Embassy Siege

Nearly 45 years on, the climax of the Iranian Embassy siege in London on 5 May 1980 still excites TV producers and authors. Paramount+ is streaming Operation Nimrod, a documentary narrated by Tom Hardy and produced by Scottish indie Two Rivers. Ben Macintyre’s book The Siege, published last year, is being adapted for TV. And, by my count, this will be the fifth drama or documentary on the subject.
