Thursdays from 9-10 p.m. ET

Boudicca (12/28)

Battlefield Britain journeys through 2,000 years of invasion, civil war and rebellion, opening with the momentous uprising led by Queen Boudicca against Roman rule in Britain.

Battle of Hastings (1/4)

The Battlefield Britain action moves forward a thousand years to the Battle of Hastings, a true clash of the Titans: William the Bastard, Duke of Normandy versus Harold, the Saxon King of England. It's one of the best-known conflicts ever to have taken place on British soil but will be seen here as never before.

The Battle for Wales (1/11)

Battlefield Britain journeys to Wales and the great battle for Welsh sovereignty fought by Owain Glyndwr against Henry IV. The latest computer-generated imagery brings the action to life while presenters Peter and Dan Snow get to grips with the detail.

The Battle of Culloden (1/18)

The Battle of Culloden was Britain's last land battle and arguably the bloodiest in Scottish history. Not only did the Jacobite defeat forever end Bonnie Prince Charlie's hopes of his family ascending the British throne, but for many years to come it would have long-lasting impact on Scottish culture, religion and the clans' relationship with the English Government.

The Battle of Britain (1/25)

In the summer of 1940, having occupied much of Western Europe, Germany now turned its attention to Britain. Prime Minister Winston Churchill was adamant that his country would never surrender. With his famous "We shall fight them on the beaches" speech, he rallied not only the troops, but also the entire nation.
