S1E3:Having It All

The Victorians

20 Apr 2011TV-MA

Inspired by the paintings of the day, Jeremy Paxman tells the story of Victorian power. Railways, factories, and military might made Britain the richest country in the world, ruling an empire greater than Rome's. He finds British generals in togas, meets the horse that led the Charge of the Light Brigade and visits a fort to tell the story of the time when Britain seemed to be having it all.
