What is The Bombing of Pan Am 103 about?

Unlike the other 2025 series based on the Lockerbie bombing, this six-part drama focuses on the investigation in the aftermath of the attack. The BBC explains that it “follows the untold story of the Scots-US investigation into the attack” and the “devastating effect it had on the small town and the families who lost loved ones”.

The Beeb adds: “From the initial exhaustive search for evidence on the ground in Scotland, via the US and Malta to the trial at Camp Zeist in 2000, the series leads up to the upcoming new trial in the US. The Bombing of Pan Am 103 also highlights the human impact on the investigators, the families and the Lockerbie community as it sought to rebuild and connect with bereaved families around the world.”
