Story of Britain

A series of animated shorts which bring the history of Britain alive. Set from the Mesolithic Period to the Domesday Book, we meet some families who shaped the Story of Britain.

This series of ten highly ambitious animated shorts chart the major changes in British history from the Mesolithic period to the Domesday Book - set in an unnamed part of Britain against an ever-evolving landscape ranging from wild forests and stone circles to Roman forts and Norman castles.

Drama emerges from the challenges faced by the Britons living during these ever-changing times, such as Iron Age tribal conflict, Viking sagas and the Norman invasion. Each story is centred round a familiar family, whose origins change between native Britons and migrants, but always with identifiable personalities. With the combination of engaging stories and atmospheric animation, children will be hooked!
