England: Kings, Crowns & Empire – The Full History

From Saxon shield walls and Norman knights to the rise of the Tudors, the handover of Hong Kong and the shock after Diana’s death – this is the full story of England.

This long-form documentary combines all previous England episodes into one complete film. We follow a rainy island at the edge of Europe as it turns into one of the most influential powers in world history – and then has to live with the consequences of empire.

Across more than five centuries you’ll see:
• Saxon warlords, shield walls and the birth of “England”
• Franks and Normans reshaping the kingdom after 1066
• The Tudors turning ships and religion into tools of power
• England’s role in global empire and the road to Hong Kong
• The last fireworks of empire at the 1997 handover
• The death of Diana and a modern monarchy under pressure

This film is not a postcard of castles in the fog. It is invasions, reforms, plagues, rebellions and quiet moments where the future turns on decisions in a single room.

Chapters are listed below so you can jump to your favourite era.
