Programmes made by the BBC

People seemed interested in the link I gave to the documentary about medieval peasant life, so I'm going to compile a few more in this thread for those who are interested in learning more, or just gathering some material to enhance their characters or roleplays. The subject line of the thread comes from a season of programmes made by the BBC about the Medieval world. I'll probably add to this list as I hunt out more material. (Foxglove)
