The British Empire was the most formidable political and cultural entity in world history, with India, the Middle East, Canada, Africa, the Caribbean and the Far East all feeling the weight of this small European island's crown. This five-episode series hosted by BBC broadcaster, journalist and author Jeremy Paxman travels the globe to tell the extraordinary story of the centuries in which the sun never set on the British Empire.
