Fractious over fracking

Hundreds of protesters are expected to attend a public inquiry which could decide the future of fracking in the UK. The energy company Cuadrilla is trying to overturn a landmark decision to ban drilling on two key sites in rural Lancashire. Over the last year the debate has become heated with both sides accusing the other of scaremongering. This programme has discovered that a vocal group of local residents set up to support fracking in the region is run by people linked to Cuadrilla itself.
