The BHP is a chronological retelling of the history of Britain with a particular focus upon the lives of the people. You won’t find a dry recounting of dates and battles here, but instead you’ll learn about who these people were and how their desires, fears, and flaws shaped the scope of this island at the edge of the world. And some of those desires are downright scandalous.

Rearranging the Deck chairs on HMS England
It was autumn of 1066 and after weeks of deliberation, political wrangling, and arguing the English nobility had finally selected their next King. This may seem like a long time, considering there was a whole invasion happening at the time. And it was. But, to be fair, the politics were very confusing.

Absolutely great analysis
Jamie’s talk through British history is wonderfully funny but nicely analytic. He questions many theories without giving over-simplified conclusions. This is especially welcome given the lack of hard facts from the early periods. Some top music too.
