BBC Two - Battlefield Britain, The Battle of Naseby

Peter and Dan Snow go back to 1645 and the Battle of Naseby.

Peter and Dan Snow take an in-depth look at the battles that shaped our nation using state-of-the-art graphics. They go back to 1645 and the Battle of Naseby.

Peter and Dan Snow go back 350 years to tell the story of a battle that shook the British royal family to its core. It was the turning point in a civil war that had ripped the country apart for three long years. With the aid state-of-the-art graphics, father and son reveal the crucial moments of a battle that is seen by many as the starting point of British democracy. 

Dan Snow experiences at first hand what it would have been like for the ordinary foot-soldiers as they struggled with cumbersome pikes and Peter joins his son on the back of a motorbike, where they try their skills with a sword in a simulated cavalry charge.
