Border Country: The Story of Britain's Lost Middleland

Topics

Just watching this on BBC Two. Fascinating documentary.

Shame I missed part 1.

For historian and MP Rory Stewart, the building of Hadrian's Wall was the single most important event in Britain's history. Meeting experts and local people, and drawing on memories from his life in Iraq and Afghanistan, he explores the impact of Rome's occupation and departure, and tells the story of how the powerful new Kingdom of Northumbria was born in Britain's lost Middleland.
