Yet another programme to get you in the mood for the Bicentenary on Thursday. My apologies for missing it off the “pick-list” this week. My excuse is that there is very little “history” on History Channel these days!
Sean Bean on Waterloo
History: Sun 14 June 2015, 22.00 – 23.00. 1/2:
Inspired by his own experiences of playing Napoleonic soldier Richard Sharpe, actor Sean Bean tells the story of the Battle of Waterloo. In the first episode he begins his journey of discovery at Chatham in South East England, where a large group of history enthusiasts are rehearsing to take part in a huge re-enactment of the battle to mark its 200th anniversary in June 2015. From here he travels to Belgium to visit the site of the battle. He meets historian Professor Saul David, who describes how the British General Lord Wellington prepared to face the threat of his great adversary, the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.
