Brief Information

Melvyn Bragg travels through Britain to tell the story of how an insignificant Germandialect, which only arrived in the country in the fifth century, evolved into alanguage which is now spoken and understood by more people than any other around theworld. We trace English from its humble roots to its flowering in the writing of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.

English is a global language. Every day, in cities all around the world, English is used in encounters between people ofdifferent countries. It is estimated that well over a thousand million people around the world speak, or have a working understanding of, English. It’s a story that really reads like an adventure of extraordinary survival, invasion, near extinction on more than one occasion, and astonishing flexibility. Engaging enough for 12 year olds to Senior citizens.
