UnitedNorge – En Manchester United-blogg

I 2006 dramatiserte BBC ulykken i München i serien Surviving Disaster. Gjennom vitneutsagn og intervju prøvde de å gjenskape ulykken og omstendighetene rundt slik det var, på tross av at Sir Bobby Charlton og Manchester United nektet å ta del i den.

Dette sa produsent Greg Lanning om episoden.

«I wouldn’t say that every line and every word is true to life. But we were told by the people on the plane that the atmosphere was very relaxed for the first two take-offs. Nobody thought anything of it. It was only on the third take off when there was a little bit more worry.»

«But I think when you’re travelling as a team there is a camaraderie even in a moment of tension when you might crack jokes. We weren’t there, we can’t say for sure, but we understand this is true to the spirit of what went on.»

«It’s clearly a drama, it isn’t a documentary. And the moment we reconstruct events and put actors and actresses in them, means that it isn’t an absolutely faithful reproduction of the actual event because that’s not possible.»

«What I think the archive does is to remind you that it’s actually based on fact. So the fact that you see the real Duncan Edwards, the real Matt Busby and so on in the course of the film is to remind you that the story we’re telling you is based on a true event.»
