Secret History is the home of single, hour-long history documentaries that shed new light on some of the most intriguing stories from the past. New evidence from excavation, research and investigation reveal strange, forgotten stories, and shed new light on the events we thought we knew well.

Whether it’s archaeological evidence that explains the outcome of a great battle between the Romans and barbarians in the forests of Germany in ‘The Lost Legions of Varus’, computer graphics combined with rigorous military analysis to examine the ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’ or investigative journalism that reveals the shameful lapses that led to Britain’s worst air disasters in ‘The Comet Cover-up’, this is history at its freshest and most revealing.
