1. 1066
A look at the events leading up to perhaps the single most famous date in British history - the Battle of Hastings, 1066 AD. Nick and his team of actors reveal little-known facts about the Norman invasion, including how secret skullduggery and a few bad decisions changed the course of history. Plus the ultimate twist in the tale - did King Harold actually survive the battle after all?
2. Robin Hood
Robin Hood is perhaps Britain's most popular historical hero. Nick Knowles goes on the trail of the real Robin Hood - if such a person ever existed...
3. Richard The Third
Richard III is often thought of as the most villainous of English monarchs, but has history given him a raw deal? Nick Knowles traces the events of his reign to see if Richard was really as bad as he is portrayed in Shakespeare's play.
