The complete series 1 and 2 of the polemical BBC modern history programme written and presented by political commentator Andrew Marr. Series 1, Andrew Marr's History of Modern Britain (2007) looks at the key events that have shaped British society since the end of the Second World War, including the collapse of Empire, Britain's uneasy truce with former enemies and allies in Europe, and tensions in the 'special relationship' Britain has with the United States. Series 2, Andrew Marr's Making of Modern Britain (2009) goes back further in history to examine the turbulent period between 1900 and 1945, from the death of Queen Victoria to the end of the Second World War.
