Bird's-Eye View: The Island Fortress

on BBC Two England

Written by John Terraine
Narrated by Robert Lang

For 1,000 years the story of Britain was one of invasion and conquest, but since 1066 there has been no successful invasion of our land.
In this film John Terraine uses the helicopter to give a new view of the history of the island's defence - from Roman forts to Norman castles, from Victorian fortresses to missile bases.
