The Three Kings of 1936
The Three Kings of 1936
This documentary marks the 90th anniversary of one of the most extraordinary and turbulent years in the history of the British royal family - a year that still casts a long shadow. The chronological story plunges viewers into the whirlwind of events in 1936, with the death of George V, the brief reign and unprecedented abdication of Edward VIII and the reluctant rise of George VI. The programme explores the motivations of those at the heart of the story, and gauges the impact on the average Briton. Narrated by Tracy-Ann Oberman.
The Three Kings of 1936 airs on 5 +1 at 10:00 PM, Saturday 7 March. (Subtitles, new.)
