Simon Schama's History of Britain is a brilliant exploration into our history. His presentation style is educational without being sniffy like some history programs. His episodes are ideal in length for the casual observer who want to learn more about British history. They can also lead you on to the books which accompany the television series if you want to delve more deeply into our rich history.This series is, in my opinion, the best program to be made about British history which entertains and educates in equal measures.
