In 1783 thousands of Britons died in a terrible environmental disaster.
Victims of a huge volcanic eruption in Iceland, they choked on the poisonous
gases that enveloped Europe. The ensuing winter was one of the worst on
record and took countless more lives. The tragedy wrought by the Laki
eruption is well documented in Iceland but its impact on Britain has
remained a mystery for the past 200 years. Timewatch goes in search of the
evidence of Britain's forgotten disaster.

Did you get the name of the CD that he said was so useful? The one that
