Coming Soon to 大象传媒 Two, The Great British Story looks at history through the eyes of ordinary people. Rulers and royals, lords and ladies have all had their say down the centuries, but what were the last 1,600 years like for everyday Britons? Many of their stories have been lost in time but, as presenter Michael Wood discovers, the secrets of the past are just waiting to be told. Take a journey through the centuries as we celebrate the ordinary Saxons, Celts and Vikings, the lesser-known Normans, the Tudor commoners and the Victorian working class who, without titles, wealth or fame, shaped the UK we know today. Discover YOUR place in the history of our nations by coming along to a Great British Story event.
