Question

In 1970, the BBC showed a series of programmes about the history of the British Empire. Before the series started, they advertised it. The advertisment mentioned ‘England’s history’. Within a few hours, the BBC had received thousands of angry calls of protest and it was forced to make an apology. Who do you think the angry callers were? Why did the BBC apologize?

Answer 1

It's actually shot in South Africa - the series is a BBC/German/British co-production.
