The Essay

Available for over a year

Take a woad trip with the Essay as archaeologists, historians and writers reveal the tribes, rulers and those who encountered the islanders of Albion. Archaeologist Miles Russell overturns long cherished ideas about how the Durotriges of Dorset faced a Roman onslaught in their hill forts and favoured passive indifference to armed resistance. Producer: Mark Burman
