Union with David Olusoga

David tells the story of Union from the 1600s - a century defined by religious and cultural divisions - to 1707, when Scotland joins with England and Wales to form Great Britain.

In the face of threats from overseas and rebellion in Scotland, a new sense of Britishness emerges and a national hero is born.

The Union seems secure, but beneath the surface run deep divisions, leading to the emergence of a new working-class movement. A catastrophic famine comes to Ireland.

The 20th century sees Ireland divided by Partition and the Union threatened by war. New ideas unify the four nations, but the decline of industry sparks new divisions.
