Channel 4 – Fortress Britain (2022) Part 1: Henry VIII Going It Alone

Presented by Professor Alice Roberts, Dr Onyeka Nubia and Professor Dan George, Fortress Britain looks at key moments in British history where the country has been under threat of foreign invasion, and identifies the physical reminders that remain to this day.
From the Normans to the Nazis, the island nation of Britain has been constantly threatened by invasion. Some invaders were successful, others never quite made it. All have left their mark. Alice Roberts and her fellow historians explore Britain’s long-standing obsession with invasion, by examining the physical reminders that are still here today.
While some invaders succeeded, others failed; some didn’t ever get near British soil, but nearly every threat has left its mark. From mighty Tudor forts on the South coast and giant WWII tank traps hiding in plain sight behind a leisure centre in Guildford to Norman castles that have stood for a thousand years and the giant network of tunnels outside Fife intended to help the nation survive a nuclear attack, the physical reminders of the threats posed to Britain over the centuries pepper our towns and countryside.
Each episode unpick the threats from a different would-be force of invaders, looking at who, what, how, why and when. Alice Roberts is based at the Fortress Britain hub in Walmer Castle, where she is joined by leading experts who’ll set the scene for each period, introduce the key historical players and showcase some extraordinary historical artefacts. Onyeka Nubia and Dan George are travelling the UK visiting the buildings, battlefields and ruins that tell the story of Britain’s struggle against invasion. How much has invasion shaped the British nation?

Part 1: Henry VIII – Going It Alone
The story of Henry VIII’s fear of Catholic Europe, told via his castles, cannons and spies.
The first episode examines the surviving traces of Henry VIII’s fear of invasion from Catholic Europe through physical reminders, including mighty castles and cannons, that survive to this day. At her headquarter in Walmer Castle, built in 1540 in Kent to defend the town against a French invasion, Alice gets her hands on a vast hoard of Tudor coins and a 500-year-old jousting scorecard, as she learns how Henry’s greed and ambition led him to bankrupt the nation and lay the foundations for the modern secret service. Danielle visits Henry’s mighty castle at Deal and witnesses the awesome power of the cannons built to defend England, while Onyeka gets within touching distance of the iconic Mary Rose.
