The British Empire, Echoes of Britannia’s Rule was a 13-part British documentary television series produced by the BBC and Time-Life Films first broadcast in 1972. It was preceded by Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation in 1969, and followed by Alistair Cooke’s America: A Personal History of the United States in the same year, and Jacob Bronowski’s The Ascent of Man in 1973. It cost £500,000 to produce and was narrated by Robert Hardy.
At the time, it provoked a debate in the House of Lords for its apparent bias against the Empire.
