Fearsome Frontier

Three programmes. The Borders - 5000 years of turbulent border history brought to life by Alistair Moffat. It's a land of river and mountain, of brutal fortresses and stately abbeys, of pele towers and ballads, of Border Reivers and bloodshed. The Debateable Lands - The story of the last corner of Britain to be subdued by authority. The land of the Border Reivers explored by George MacDonald Fraser and Eric Robson. They were murderers, arsonists, kidnappers and protection racketeers. They added words such as blackmail and bereaved to the language. In a fashion they were also honourable men. Edge Of Empire - The story is not just in the stones that build the forts and milecastles along the way, but in the people. From Iron Age farmers and diplomats to Roman shopkeepers and civil servants: from Imperial soldiers bred in North Britain to dark ages protection racketeers and border reivers. The frontier that the Emperor Hadrian created is with us still.
