This excellent series with the narration of eloquent standard English explains the last years of empire by each country. My favourite episodes were the ones about India, Cyprus and the Middle East.
The series deals with plain facts and does not take sides but is genuinely academic and makes the last years of empire intriguing and interesting to the viewer, with first hand witness accounts and very educational to a post empire generation.
We learn about were the empire ruled and its legacy in the present era and how this has effected the former territories along with its relations with Britain.
No series about empire can out do this in the present which is why it should be the value of gold and preserved for future generations as nowadays the tyranny of "Woke liberalism" rules and we have reactionaries such as Niall Ferguson preaching a romanticised narrative of empire - The polarisation of society as opposed to past civility and common sense with high standards as epitomised in this series.
