'The Great British Story' is a fascinating eight part BBC series tracing the history of the British people. Interweaving the national story with the local, historian Michael Wood (The Story of England) sets the lives of the ordinary people in the context of great events, showing them struggling with invasion, plague, famine and war - and often with their rulers - to make their own history and shape their own identity. The Great British Story uncovers the British past and charts the many roads by which the people of Britain arrived at their present.
