In the first of this three-part series, Dr Sam Willis charts the evolution of weaponry in Britain throughout the Middle Ages. Beginning with the Battle of Ethandun in 878, when the future of Anglo-Saxon England lay in the balance, Sam examines the weapons and tactics used by King Alfred to keep the Viking raiders at bay, and gets hands-on experience as he joins re-enactors behind a shield-wall, used by the Anglo-Saxons en masse as an attacking weapon to drive back and defeat the Vikings.

If this is one of those shows which pops up on BBC YouTube or something, let us know.

BBC doesn't allow us to watch outside the UK.

Really enjoyed it. Was great to see a historical show on 'war' that didn't just focus on how people felt, or what was happening back home.

BBC doesn't allow us to watch outside the UK.

If someone would kindly upload it to YouTube it would be appreciated.

Meant to watch it on iplayer yesterday whilst I was working but got hooked on ARMA III Youtube videos instead. Will catch it next week.

Stone Cold, if you watch or play ARMA III...all I can say is Red Hammer Studios Mod ---- I've done 1,000 hours in ARMA III mission making/etc. because of that damn thing.
