Ten films in which Magnus Magnusson explores the Viking World.

Pagan poets and wrathful fishermen? Merciless farmers and valiant craftsmen? The Vikings were an extraordinary people - complex, brilliant, unpredictable and difficult to define.
Tonight Magnus Magnusson, himself the descendant of Vikings, looks for the spirit of the Viking age: the ships, the sagas, the heroism and the obsessions which accompanied them to the farthest edges of the world.
With Colin Blakely, Jeremy Kemp, John Bennett
