Andrew Marr’s History of Modern Britain

Synopsis
An epic account of the events that have shaped our lives since the end of the Second World War. Using archive and stills, dynamic sequences of Andrew Marr’s journey across Britain, anecdote and analysis, this landmark series charts the evolution of Britain’s place in the world since the Second World War: the collapse of Empire, an uneasy truce with former enemies and allies in Europe, tensions in our ‘special relationship’ with the United States.

Drawing on his detailed knowledge of contemporary politics and first-hand experience of the people who rule Britain today, Andrew Marr helps us make sense of ourselves in the context of our modern history.
