Why were the English people angry with Charles I? How did Britain become the richest nation in the world? Why was Churchill so popular and so unpopular? From the time of James I to the present day, this show presents key characters and events of English history in a fun and interactive way.

The History of England Part 2 continues where The History of England Part 1 finishes. The style of the show is very similar to Part 1, with the events being treated in a light and often comic way, although The History of England Part 2 does take the time to treat some events and figures in more detail. They are, Oliver Cromwell and the story of the English Civil War, the story of The British Empire and the story of Winston Churchill and his part in the two World wars.
