Synopsis:
"Battlefield Britain" is a powerful and innovative BBC series spanning nearly 2,000 bloody and turbulent years of battles fought on British soil. Peter and Dan Snow, father and son historians, travel to the actual battle sites and use computer generated images woven together with dramatic re-enactments to make history come alive. From Boudicca to the Battle of Britain, they reveal what it was like to be an ordinary soldier on the front line, where the fighting was at its fiercest.

Naseby 1645
The elite cavalry of the King's Lifeguard left Market Harborough at 2 o'clock on the morning of 14th June 1645. It was pitch dark as they heaved themselves into their saddles and headed south to meet a Parliamentarian enemy who had appeared seemingly out of thin air. By six, the Royalist infantry were marching too. Waiting for them, eight kilometres away at the little village of Naseby was the New Model Army, over 15,000 strong and recently reinforced by 600 horsemen led by Oliver Cromwell himself. The royalists were badly outnumbered - and knew it. In a furious clash of sword, pike and musket, battle was joined - with the fate of the nation at stake. With almost every soldier committed and battle fully joined, the Parliamentarians looked close to collapse. Then came the furious pounding of horses' hooves and - as Cromwell's horsemen fell upon the Royalist infantry in the centre - everything changed...
