Bromsgrove man 'played by Colin Firth'
Jim Swire's fight for justice for his daughter Flora, who was killed during one of the worst air disasters in history, is told in a new drama, 'Lockerbie'.
On 21 December 1988, 259 passengers and crew were killed when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie 38 minutes after take-off, with a further 11 residents losing their life as the plane came down over the quiet, Scottish town.
The award-winning actor stars as the Bromsgrove father, who became the nominated spokesperson for the UK victims' families.
Jim tells Tom Edwards how he's now on first name terms with Colin Firth, and how he was approached to have his life story being told in a new Sky drama series.
The series is available from Thursday 02 January 2024, on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.
