| Summary |
Presented by Jeremy Paxman, this five-part series tells the story of the British Empire in a new way, tracing not only the rise and fall of the empire but also the complex effects of the empire on the modern world. Tonight's episode looks at how the empire began as a pirates' treasure hunt, grew into an informal empire based on trade - and slavery - and later expanded into a global financial network.
