Another sparky history lesson with expert Lucy Worsley, as she tells the British perspective – or “the untold version” – of the American Revolution. Marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the two-parter starts in New York where George Washington read out “the ultimate breakup letter”, then looks at the events of King George III’s reign that led up to this moment.
