There is a novel called "London" - by Edward Rutherford, if you liked this doco, you'll love this novel. Covers the 2000 years of London's history, it follows several people and their descendants through centuries, until modern times. One of the best historical fiction novels ever.
Once again, *No One* does docs better than the Brits! With a couple of my favourite familiar historians! Dan and Susannah~ (Lucy still rules the roost, though :) )
Absolutely true. I love documents, especially the ones done by the Brits. My personal favourite documents are actually about the UK, since I have a deep fascination for it. I found Lucy Worsley a little while ago, and she's my absolute favourite! Nobody manages to captivate the audience quite like her :)
If there's one thing I can't bear with this modern documentary style it's the constant vocal emphasis and the over-use of the word 'amazing" - "Look kids, it's some amazing nits of wood under some amazing mud, which is just amazing!" Incredible...
They get caught up on the excitement of their Passion of the information they are putting across. Funny I hated the monotone news readers of the past who seem to not give a rats about they were speaking.
For future criticism quips, this documentary was broadcast on Channel5 network not in any way affiliated with the BBC. Criticism is more effective when the aim is accurate
I adore them as presenters and think they're brilliant at their jobs, but the truth is Dan, Suzanna and Rob wouldn't have had their fantastic presenting careers if they weren't all gorgeous.
As an American evangelical missionary in England in the '70s (hahahaha, yes it was true, but I gave up all that garbage about 12 years ago), I lived in the far SE corner of London (Bromley). This is a fascinating and wonderfully-produced series. 17:52
There was. It’s even speculated that a lot of the Roman’s never actually retreated but converted to Christianity & ended up like merging with the native Britain’s
I wonder if the Romans affect English accents. I’m Australian, with ancestors from England. I can easily take off English accent’s, not all but believable.

@@edwardoleyba3075 Bruh its called colonisation. England was one of the main nations that did this, they literally travelled around the world imposing western views in the name of some queen that these people didn't know or care about because everyone else wasn't "civilised". They proceeded to crush and destroy cultures and then went back to their home stealing everything from tea and spices to jewellery and fashion, then implemented this into their own culture claiming it as their own. So don't tell me it was a one way street, my whole family history is literally slavery, being lied to and taken away from our home land plus family and robbed of our culture because of this. I'm not saying that only England is to blame, as this happened with many nations and it is no ones fault now as this was a result of people in the past, but the fact remains that Britain as a nation is built off colonisation and would nothing it is today without it.
London was first built by black Africans who were formerly Roman legionnaires . Why do black contributions never get acknowledged ? Also Africa had sewers before London. Google Ugandan civilisation .
London was built by Romans of many ethnicities not only Black Africans! and they didn't have the same concept of racism and discrimination linked to skin tone that we have now. The Africans living in the European side of the Roman Empire were mostly North Africans (Mediterranean and Middle Eastern people) and less so were from Subsaharian Africa (Black Africans) and they enjoyed different roles in society. Social mobility was less tied to skin color as slaves in the Roman Empire were of all colors and origins.

Indeed, Helen. I agree.
agreed!
I LOVED that book, read it twice.😍
I’ll have to give that a look. Thank you!!
I wonder why the skeletal remains in boxes (they say there are about 500) have not been buried. Does anyone know why?
As an American who’s countries history doesn’t go back very far at all, this is fascinating.
You obviously, have no clue about the history of the Americas.
@@cat_terrell maybe he means written, or civilizational history :D
@@jimmyneutron1776 yeah ok. I'll give a pass there then.

Absolutely shocked by Dan Jones's tattoos.
He has even more now. Lol. Not that shocking, a lot of people like tattoos. He’s a fantastic historian.

Wasnt there a period of christian expansion between norse/Scandinavian invasion, even with the roman retreat?
There was. It’s even speculated that a lot of the Roman’s never actually retreated but converted to Christianity & ended up like merging with the native Britain’s

I wonder how the accent of original Londinians sounded compared to todays upper and middle class people?
How do they bypass King Cnut?? Only other Britian monarch to have the great
Thought the medieval capital if the world was Rome?

That is how things are bro
I'm about to make an AMAZING sandwich
too many historical errors; 3:44, the first Roman Emperor was not Julius Caesar it was Augustus.... how this error could be made is astounding
3:46 Julius Caesar was assassinated BEFORE he could become the "future Roman Emperor".
(Narrator=nice teeth-lousy historian)
make fucking sub
Waww
There are more roman dities - trier for example ...

Yess London built on the looted money from India🙏
Because India let it be.....
They were intelligent....we were foolish.
We were distracted ......they were disciplined.
Indian Railways built by ? Indian Civil Service established by ? It wasn’t just a one-way street!
London was around a very long time before they knew where India was.
