HiRe: 1972 BBC TV series "The British Empire"
Hello, I've been searching for this series for years. The leading Google search item was the one from Hansard where a member of the House of Lords was complaining about the series. Last year I saw the series referenced in an online Guardian article and on the BBC Genome pages. I watched all of the programmes and bought the accompanying BBC/Time Life magazine. I lost most of the copies over the year, I was a kid, but I was struck by the beautiful artwork on their covers and their well written articles which didn't flinch from the darker side of the Empire. I did get hold of a complete bound set unfortunately without their covers and I'm re-reading them now. I'm at the point of the Opium War and if you have a rosy view of the past it's probably not the reading material for you. Basically the British were a bunch of drug dealers in terms of China. Anyway I'm going to ask the BBC History Magazine if they know any thing about the programme.Re: 1972 BBC TV series "The British Empire"
Hi, I too have been looking for the series from 1972. Some years ago I spoke to someone who was doing some work for the BBC with no luck. I have just found this site during another search, hoping that as the net grows more information will be forthcoming.
