I’m desperately trying to remember the name of an epic documentary series about American history. It must have been shown on either BBC2 or channel 4 in an early evening slot (probably 5-6pm) at some point in the mid to late 1980s, and seemed to go on forever. As far as I remember, it focused quite heavily, but not exclusively, on the expansion of the west and the ‘Indian wars.’
I realise that this is not a great deal of information, but I would be delighted if anyone is able to help. If you can, you’ll probably be in your late 30s or early 40s, and watched it after school like me. I’ve spent some time looking for it on various websites, but without any luck so far.
It’s starting to drive me slightly crazy. Hence this last-ditch appeal to the collective mind.
Alternatively, if anyone could recommend a similarly epic ‘History of America’ documentary series, that would help to ease the pain.
Cheers!
