- Stunning 4-part BBC series presented by David Olusoga...How did a small island create the biggest empire the world has ever seen? This bold series, brimming with extraordinary stories, blasts through the Victorian clichés to reveal Britain's real imperial history. Under Queen Elizabeth I, England took the first steps towards building the British Empire. Under Elizabeth II, four centuries later, the last British colonies were finally granted independence.
