Broadcast 7 October 2000 and covering 10001087. 1066 is not the best remembered date in British history for nothing. In the space of nine hours whilst the Battle of Hastings raged, everything changed. Anglo-Saxon England became Norman and, for the next 300 years, its fate was decided by dynasties of Norman rulers.
Thanks Simon!

Hastings for England is the Plains of Abraham for Canada....... Who could have known that such unscripted places could change Nations so totally. .
