- Synopsis:
The complete third series of 'London's Burning' features Blackwall Fire Station's Blue Watch in some of their most dramatic stories - crashed chemical lorries and burning ships counterpoint the more personal stories of the firefighters. It's this combination of drama and personal issues that made 'London's Burning' a huge success for ITV1, with viewers loving the quirky but human characters who put their lives on the line every week.
Episode One
Josie is leaving Blackwall for a post at another station. The Watch's farewell gift is a male stripper. Vaseline's replacement is Colin Parrish, straight out of training and very green.
