The Making of the English: 1: Caesar Set Sail about Midnight

on BBC One London

A series of six programmes tracing the major historical influences which formed the English character and affected the landscape of England from Roman times to the Norman Invasion.

The Roman domination lasted for about 400 years but the country was largely regarded as a remote outpost, necessary to the defence of Rome, but expendable when danger threatened at home. Yet Rome's influence has lasted to this day.
Presented by Prof Barry Cunliffe from Pevensey Castle, Sussex and Dover Castle, Kent
With Peter Marsden, Prof R.H.C. Davis and Brian Philip
