One part of the episode shows a newspaper headline reading: “Government policy blamed as 70 dies in tower block disaster.”
Following the deadly incident on 15 June, Vimeo user Al-Jazz has highlighted an episode of the political drama featuring a gas explosion that ended up killing 72 residents of a run-down tower block in Newham.
BBC series House of Cards – the inspiration behind Netflix’s TV show of the same name – featured a storyline that bears striking similarities to the Grenfell Tower fire which has left 79 people presumed dead.
It originally aired in 1993 as part of the series’ second part ‘To Play the King.’
