A major three-part documentary series sees Anita Dobson starring as Elizabeth I, and Dan Snow takes to the sea to tell the story of how England came within a whisker of disaster in the summer of 1588. Newly discovered documents take us right inside the Spanish Armada for the very first time and reveal a missed opportunity that could have spelled the end of Tudor England. Review: Amazing Documentary! Well Worth the Money - I have just finished watching this documentary. I had almost not purchased it due to someones bad review below this one. Thank god I didn't listen to that bad review as I have absolutely loved every minute of this documentary. Dan Snow clearly explains the events. We have a number of other historians read incredidable letters from both sides, Spanish and English captains. This gives a real insight of how both sides. The cut-scenes and special effects are brilliant. The whole documentary is brilliant. I don't want to give too much away, so please just trust me, if you enjoyed other Dan Snow documentaries you will love this one. Yes, its £19.99. Yes, it isn't the cheapest, but it is well worth the money and after watching it I am happy with my purchase! Review: Very good film throughout...wow - Well worth watching, great film

NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN
WHEN I SAW A PART OF ONE EPISODE ON TELEVISION A LITTLE WHILE AGO, I DIDN'T THINK THAT THE EVENT IN HISTORY KNOWN AS THE SPANISH ARMADA WAS SO INVOLVED, CERTAINLY NOTHING LIKE I HAD LEARNED AT SCHOOL (AND THAT WAS OVER 57 YEARS AGO!). I FOUND THIS SERIES VERY INTERESTING AND I WATCHED THE THREE EPISODES ONE AFTER THE OTHER. IT WAS WELL WORTH WATCHING AND LEARNING ABOUT, EVEN AT MY AGE.

Historically correct.
A very good information of a situation that was very dangerous for England. It also shows the good seamanship of the English commanders

Factual and fun
Amazing documentary. We watch this with our year 7s each year when teaching our Shakespeare unit so that students understand what the monarchy was facing at the time. Always gets them hooked - Dan Snow is so engaging.

VERY INTERESTING. IF THE ARMADA HAD REACHED ENGLAND THINGS MAY HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT. THIS ARRIVED FROM THE UK EVEN THOUGH I DID ORDER IN AUSTRALIA.
