Information
------------------------------

Britain's Great Cathedrals. A six part documentary series that looks at the architecture and tells the stories and characters behind six of Britain's Cathedrals.
Sir Tony Robinson visits Britain's great cathedrals, considered some of the most magnificent in the world, to investigate their turbulent history and the treasures that they house.
Dominating the landscape for centuries, ancient cathedrals and abbeys reflect Britain's history through their architectural grandeur-stories of its kings and queens and the religious and social changes brought about by the English Reformation, as well as many other tales of intrigue, love, faith and conviction.
For centuries the great religious buildings of Great Britain have inspired and fascinated pilgrims and visitors from around the world. Britain is well-known for its churches and cathedrals; buildings of great architecture and religious grandeur that form many of our recognisable skylines. But these grand structures are also full of facts, histories and stories that you may not have been aware of.
Actor and history enthusiast Tony Robinson takes us on a journey around the United Kingdom, showing us his highlights while providing fascinating details and stories along the way. Britain's Great Cathedrals take the viewer on a journey to look at the history and architecture, and learn about the characters who have made the cathedrals what they are today.
The series features interviews with historians and footage captured by drones filming the legendary facades and soaring interior spaces of York Minster, Canterbury, Salisbury, Durham, Liverpool and Winchester Cathedrals.

3)  Salisbury Cathedral
In Episode Three, one of the biggest engineering projects of the Middle Ages, Salisbury Cathedral was moved from a wind-blasted Iron Age hill fort to its current location - a feat accomplished in just 38 years, helping establish the Wiltshire city in the process. Britain's tallest medieval building has witnessed natural disasters, royal feuds and secret wartime operations. A place of both ancient tradition and home to one of the country's oldest choirs, Tony witnesses the ritual of inducting a new chorister and sees the oldest working clock in the world. The presenter also reflects on the cathedral's role in a clandestine operation that helped turn the tide of the Second World War.
