I have just watched an interesting serial on BBC 2 television, "The Birth of Empire", presented by Dan Snow. The series is about the story of the East India Company in India and is a two part series. The second episode of this serial will be shown next week on BBC 2 at 9:00 pm next Wednesday 7 May 2014.
