Britania Unearthed

Britain has 5,000 years of history, and most of it never makes it into the classroom.

This channel publishes a new short documentary every day on the people, disasters, buildings and decisions that shaped Britain - from Neolithic Salisbury Plain to Roman frontiers, Tudor scaffolds, Victorian sewers and the Blitz. Every episode is researched from primary sources where possible, dated precisely, and honest about what the evidence does and does not support.

No presenters. No re-enactment cheese. Just clear narration, archive-style visuals and the actual documents.

New documentary every day.
