BBC confirms new Queen Elizabeth II documentary for late monarch’s centenary
Queen Elizabeth II will be the subject of a new BBC One documentary exploring a century of change through the prism of her life. The one-hour documentary, which will mark what would have been the 100th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II, will explore the life and legacy of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, and also reflect on the social and cultural shifts that shaped the century of her reign. “Spanning an era that saw the nation move from the age of Empire to the rise of celebrity culture — from the Blitz to the 2012 London Olympics — Queen Elizabeth II lived through extraordinary change,” the official synopsis teases. It continues: “More than a witness to history, she became an enduring symbol of continuity in a rapidly evolving world. Through the prism of her life, the documentary tells the story of modern Britain in a richly historical and emotionally resonant exploration of both The Queen and the people she served.” Add Radio Times as a Preferred Source on Google Keep up to date on what’s worth watching …
