The Stuarts: And I Will Make Them One Nation

This three-part series argues that the Stuarts, more than any other, were Britain's defining royal family. We tend to take today's modern United Kingdom for granted, but there was nothing inevitable about its creation. During the 17th century, the Stuarts grappled with the chaos of three separate kingdoms, multiple religions and civil war. Britain has not known a century like it and some of the questions this dynasty faced have not gone away. In this first episode, Clare Jackson looks at James VI and I's attempts to unite Scotland and England under the umbrella of his crown and persuade his subjects to feel more 'British'. Part 1 of 3.

WWII in Colour: Road to Victory: The Invasion of North Africa

With Britain standing alone, Churchill realises maintaining control of the vital oil supply line through the Suez Canal is critical to his nation’s hopes. After the fall of the strategically important port of Tobruk, Rommel only has the defensive line at El Alamein left to cross. Britain’s General Montgomery drives Rommel back from El Alamein, but that is only the beginning; America’s rookie troops make landfall in North Africa and join the fight. Part 3 of 10.

Vichy and the Nazis

Summer 1942: A real manhunt took place in Paris, then in occupied France, and even in the ‘zone libre’ (free zone). Close to 80 000 Jews were rounded-up and deported to the concentration camps. Almost none of them ever returned. Without the help of the French authorities and police, these operations carefully planned by the Nazis would never have existed.

The American Vice President

What happens when the president is unable to serve? Explore the dramatic period between 1963 and 1976, when a grief-stricken, then scandal-stricken America was forced to define the role of the vice president and the process of succession.
