A History of Britain (2000)

S1E1 Beginnings (3100 BC - 1000 AD)

Simon Schama embarks on a journey through time, beginning in the prehistoric settlement of Skara Brae in Orkney. Across the span of four millennia, the landscape witnesses the arrival of Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, and Christian missionaries. These groups engage in conflicts, establish their communities, and leave an enduring impact on the future of what will evolve into the British nations.
