The Documentary: As the World Sees Britain

In a series of five programmes, Neil MacGregor explores how other countries see Britain.

2019 is a year of potentially momentous change for the United Kingdom, and in this series of five programmes, Neil MacGregor visits different countries to talk to leading political, business and cultural figures to find out how they, as individuals and as members of their broader communities, see Britain. 
 
For centuries, the British travelled and traded, conquered and settled in every continent. The United Kingdom has played a significant part in the history of countries all around the world, a part often forgotten here, but very much not forgotten there. As the UK prepares to place itself on the world stage as an independent power, it is time to explore the nature of some of those relationships.
