Notes

Timelines.tv is a two-times BAFTA award-winning educational resource, covering 1000 years of British history in 50 short-form videos.

The material on the site was originally commissioned by the BBC, and was broadcast between 2005 and 2007 as a series of five hour-long programmes.  Timelines: Nation & Empire  won the British Academy Award for best educational resource in 2006. The series was written, directed and presented by Andrew Chater, and produced by Lodestar Productions and October Films.

In 2010, Timelines.tv was launched as a free-to-view resource for teachers in UK secondary schools. The site breaks down the video material from the original BBC series along three parallel timelines, following the trajectory of British social, political and  imperial  history. Timelines.tv was conceived and created by Paul Trainor and Andrew Chater, and won the British Academy Award for best educational resource in 2010.
