The BBC are currently airing a documentary series which has been developed in conjunction with the Open University. 'Empire' is a major five-part series presented by one of British
television’s most distinguished broadcasters, Jeremy Paxman. Here, through different areas of development, it tells
the story of the British Empire in a new way, tracing not only the rise
and fall of the empire but also the complex effects of the empire on the
modern world – political, technological and social – and on Britain.
In episode two, aired on sunday 11th of March in the UK, the subject looked at the development of the empire overseas and how displacement of native cultures led to the development and establishment on the new empire. There is a look at the Scots development in Canada, and although not mentioned, there is is a reference to the vast immobilisation of the Scots to help colonise new lands.
