'''''...from Hell''''' was a one-hour [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] disasters-based documentary shown in the United Kingdom on a semi-regular basis. It discusses and shows real-life footage of the experiences that people (mainly the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland|British]] public) have witnessed on the subject of programme. For example, ''Weddings from Hell''.

The programme began on 14 July 1997 initially with ''Neighbours from Hell''. This was originally a one-off documentary to compete against the BBC with their current boom of [[docusoap]]s including ''[[Airport (TV series)|Airport]]'' and ''The Cruise''. This was soon followed up with the popular ''Holidays from Hell''. The two aforementioned programmes are the most well known of the series.

The documentary was originally best noted for its dramatic 'flame-filled' title sequence, indicating a situation that could have originated literally 'from [[hell]]'.

Line 27 ⟶ 26:

It was narrated mainly by ex-''[[Fawlty Towers]]'' actor, [[Andrew Sachs]] although others have included [[Ross Kemp]] and [[Fiona Foster]].

In total, all 37 episodes were produced.

The disasters-based documentary finally ceased operations for good in July 2010.
