Starting on March 10 at 19h00 and continuing
every Sunday at the same time on BBC Knowledge (channel 184 on DStv) is The British.
The series reveals the history of the
British Isles from Stonehenge to World War II, from Roman occupation to the
discovery of penicillin. Today, much of the planet lives in a British-shaped
world. How did this clutch of islands off the coast of Europe come to dominate
the globe and invent the modern world?
Each episode dramatises a point in history
when things really changed - revealing extraordinary tales of human endeavour,
struggles against huge odds and triumphs of the human spirit, inspiring
invention and innovation, grit and heroism.
