  3. Empire with David Olusoga, Series 1: Episode
    Really enjoyed this three part documentary. Learned a lot. Some of it predictably grim where humans are concerned but lighter moments later in series include finding out that post WWII converted agricultural tanks sent by Brits to clear forestry in parts of Africa "bounced off" the mighty Baobab trees and brought work to a halt the plans had to be cancelled.🌴💪

  8. europesays.com/uk/527104/ Was Stephen Fry and David Olusoga’s ‘secret’ Traitors feud set against simmering tensions over their VERY different relationships with the Royal Family? #BBC #CelebrityTraitors #dailymail #DavidOlusoga #Royal #RoyalFamilies #RoyalFamily #Royals #StephenFry #TV

  9. #DavidOlusoga has exceeded himself with series 5 of House Through Time: two cities at war. Amazing detective work traces the residents of a house in London and a house in Berlin during WW2. Fascinating history at the level of people. Must watch!
