With exclusive access to a major new excavation, Alice Roberts discovers what King Arthur's Britain was like, including surprisingly modern connections we all share with our past.

The legend of King Arthur is one of the most evocative stories in British mythology. We think of the romantic King, with his beautiful wife Guinevere by his side and the trusty sword Excalibur in his hand. The truth, we discover, is very different. The story was written in the medieval period but it was set hundreds of years earlier - in the Dark Ages. The programme finds evidence that a real 6th Century warlord actually did exist, and that many of the most famous chapters of the story - such as the round table, the sword in the stone, Camelot - may well have been inspired by real places and events. Hosted by Richard Harris.

His name, image and adventures stir something in all of us - a time of chivalrous deeds, damsels in distress and gallant quests. King Arthur is the archetypal hero, a shining light from an age whose romance and myth still casts a spell over all who show a flicker of interest in his enduring legend. However, when we look for historical facts Arthur and his legend are shrouded in mystery and darkness, with little to no hard proof ever such a man existed. In the absence of concrete evidence, history and fantasy have fused together and in this video we attempted to separate fact from fiction with the expert opinion of historians and renowned Arthurian authorities. - The Power Of The Legend - Hidden Treasure In The Writings - Horsemen Of The Red Dragon - Power Of The Sword
