How the Celts Saved Britain - 1of2 - A New Civilization.txt
How the Celts Saved Britain Episode 01 A New Civilization
Mon 25 May 2009 21:00 BBC Four
Dan Snow blows the lid on the traditional, Anglo-centric view of history and reveals how
the Irish saved Britain from cultural oblivion during the Dark Ages, in this
provocative, two-part documentary.
Travelling back in time to some of the remotest corners of the British Isles, Dan
unravels the mystery of the lost years of 400-800 AD, when the collapse of the Roman
Empire left Britain in tatters.
In the first episode, Dan shows how in the 5th century AD Roman 'Britannia' was plunged
into chaos by the arrival of Anglo-Saxon invaders. As Roman civilisation disappeared
from Britain, a new civilisation emerged in one of the most unlikely places - Ireland.
Within a few generations, Christianity transformed a backward, barbarian country into
the cultural powerhouse of early medieval Europe.
This is a visually stunning and intellectually stimulating journey into one of the least
known chapters of British history.
