2/8. Bringing to life possibly the most famous battle in British history, father-and-son team Peter and Dan Snow return to the year 1066. Peter provides a CGI-enhanced blow-by-blow account of King Harold and the Saxons' attempt to defend England against William's invading French force, while Dan tells the soldiers' stories, faces a cavalry charge and experiences favourite Saxon tactic, the shield wall.
