A place in history

Article Abstract:

Laurence Rees is a UK historical programme maker who has received critical acclaim for works such the BBC2 series Timewatch, which also attracted high viewing figures. His most successful series was The Nazis - A Warning from History, which won six British Television awards in 1988. Rees puts his love of historical programme making down to the ability to plan and structure a path the series should take, in the knowledge the work is based on fact.
