He looks at portraits in Ham House in Surrey, which feature images of young Black men and women as part of family groups of aristocrats. Olusoga talks to Professor James Walvin, who suggests that often these figures were invented and were part of the exoticism associated with international trade and enslavement. Walvin describes Black people in the UK as the ‘flotsam and jetsam’ of the slave trade, individuals who found themselves in the UK. Most were in domestic service. Some were sailors in transit in and out of the ports. By the late 18th century the ideas of the French Revolution were spreading and some Black people were starting to have a political impact on British society. These included Robert Wedderburn, who argued passionately for the emancipation of Black slaves and poor whites.

BBC Teach - Abolitionism and why it was opposed - Britain’s Forgotten Slave Owners Written to support the BBC Teach David Olusoga clip Search - Abolitionism and why it was opposed | History - Britain’s Forgotten Slave Owners Historian David Olusoga investigates the resistance to abolishing slavery among British slave owners, including the threat they perceived to the profitable overseas sugarcane industry. He deliberately contrasts William Wilberforce, leader of the abolitionists, with George Hibbert, a slave owner, who worshipped in the same church in Clapham. Olusoga also refers to the family of the Victorian Prime Minister William Gladstone, whose fortunes were based on sugar plantations in Guyana. Like other slave owners he points out that they were determined to protect their sole supply of labour- slaves. Olusoga also uses slave ledgers updated every three years from 1817 to 1834 to point out the high mortality rates among slaves - evidence of their poor treatment.

Travelling by water was an important part of Viking culture as it transported them overseas to distant lands as both invaders and as settlers. Neil Oliver travels to Oslo to find out how the Vikings’ skills as shipbuilders and sailors enabled them to travel so far from their homeland. Here, a close look at the famous Oseburg Ship reveals the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Vikings. Out at sea, on a replica of a Viking boat, he learns how they used the sun to navigate their way across the open sea, and in Russia he discovers how the Vikings overcame rapids and ice to travel up its mighty rivers to trade in the East. He finds evidence of an ancient settlement in Iceland from where Viking explorers embarked on journeys even further West, to become the first Europeans to discover North America.

Search - BBC Teach - Class Clips - KS3 History: What was life like in Elizabethan society? The historian, Ian Mortimer, journeys back in time to find out what life was really like in the court of Elizabeth I. He starts at Hampton Court, one of twenty royal residences inherited by Elizabeth I. Here he discovers that appearance played a vital role at court helping to denote a person’s social status and whether they were of sufficient importance and wealth to be granted an audience with the Queen. He retraces Elizabeth’s royal progresses around the country and uncovers evidence that increasing numbers of people were becoming richer and using their new-found wealth to build their own manor houses. A visit from the monarch and her vast entourage would be a mixed blessing, the ultimate privilege and confirmation of the highest social status but also ruinously expensive.

Through a journey back in time, we discover that for many Elizabethans living in the countryside life could be very harsh. Ian Mortimer visits a reconstructed Elizabethan thatched cottage to experience the living conditions for himself. Inside it is very basic and its inhabitants would have had few possessions. Society was strictly divided by class, and these people were among the poorest. They would have earned a meagre living by labouring on nearby farms. Without growing some of their own food and making their own clothes, life would have been a real struggle for survival.
