State of Terror reveals the true story of how Britain was shaken by the 7/7 bombings twenty years ago, and how counter-terror policy has changed ever since to deal with new threats and shocking new methods of terrorism. Presenter Dominic Casciani goes behind the scenes with those responsible for protecting us – from Prime Ministers to leaders of the UK’s security services, and those working with violent extremists to de-radicalise them. In this final episode of the series, Dominic reveals the inside story of how Britain's leaders and security forces managed in 2017, the most deadly year for acts of terror in the UK since 2005. He examines how the nature of the threat has diversified and spread; and he discovers how today's Government intend to reckon with a very different kind of terrorism, compared to twenty years ago. Presenter: Dominic Casciani Producer: Jonathan Brunert
