[edit] Information

Dan Snow blows the lid on the traditional Anglo-centric view of history and reveals how the Irish saved Britain from cultural oblivion during the Dark Ages of 400-800AD.

[edit] A New Civilisation

He examines the demise of civilisation in Britain after the collapse of the Roman Empire and looks at how Ireland became the cradle of a new European civilisation.

[edit] Salvation

He follows in the footsteps of Ireland's earliest missionaries as they venture through treacherous barbarian territory to bring literacy and technology to the future nations of Scotland and England.
