A history of Britain from the air in 7 episodes

In a unique journey across Britain by helicopter, Christine Bleakley and historian Dr Michael Scott tell the story of what life was like for Romans and Britons 2000 years ago.

Blast yourself back to the terrifying summer of 1940. Experience all the decisive moments of the fighting as valiant pilots from the 'Battle of Britain' deliver first-hand accounts of their exploits. A combination of interviews and memorable footage affords you a unique view from the cockpit, as the fly boys who protected our shores from Nazi invasion recall the mightiest aerial battle in history. The 'Battle of Britain' shaped the future of our glorious nation, pitting the excellence of the German Luftwaffe against a small, inexperienced group of men flying largely untested aircraft of the RAF's Fighter Command.

There are questions regarding the terms applied to the groups known as "gypsies" and the organization Travellers Times created this short film to address some of those inquiries. 'Roads from the Past' is a response to these questions. It's a short animated film about the history of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people in Britain, from ancient times up to the present day. The fact is, the history is long and complicated. You can't explain it all in five minutes, any more than you could explain the history of England, or farming, or music. So this film isn't a full explanation. It's just a start. A way into thinking about Gypsy, Roma and Traveller history that is based on some important facts. Like the fact we are ethnic groups: peoples like any other.
