 It was produced for and broadcast by London Weekend Television but was not shown in all of the other ITV regions.The idea (inspired by a sketch in an earlier show, "Twice a Fortnight") was to replay history as if television had been around at the time.Sketches included interviews with the vital characters in the dressing-room after the Battle of Hastings, Samuel Pepys presenting a TV chat-show and an estate agent trying to sell Stonehenge to a young couple looking for their first home ("It's got character, charm and a slab in the middle").
