Sycamore Gap: Britain's Lost Landmark

In the early hours of the morning on 28 September 2023, two best friends took a chainsaw to a remote spot in Northumberland and chopped down one of the world's best-known, and best-loved, trees. Extraordinarily, they filmed themselves committing a crime that shocked the world. As Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers are sentenced for the felling of the Sycamore Gap tree, Tom Barton tells the full story of what happened that night. He hears from people whose biggest life events involved the tree, those who were responsible for caring for it, and the police officer who cracked the case. And he finds out more about the two men who, with no apparent motive, decided to destroy a landmark that had meant so much to so many people.
