  • The Balcombe Street Siege
    Mar 1 2026

    Fifty years ago a couple in their 50s were sitting in their council flat, not far from London's West End, watching an episode of Kojak when four armed IRA desperadoes burst in. It would turn into a six-day siege - which was broadcast on the nation's television screens - one of the most dramatic events of The Troubles. In this episode I explain who the Balcombe Street gang was and what role some peaches and cream played in the ending of the siege. The episode also features expert analysis by Oisin Feeney, host of The Troubles podcast.
