Through the stories of six British towns, Professor Alice Roberts unpacks some key eras of British history:  Roman Chester, Viking York, Norman Winchester, Tudor Norwich, Regency Cheltenham and Victorian Belfast.

​

She visits key architectural sites or ruins and unpacks their history whilst photo-realistic CGI faithfully recreates the original building or monument. Gradually she builds up a detailed picture of what life would have been like in the town during its respective era.

​

At the end of each episode CGI reveals how the town would have looked in its historical period.
