What was it really like to live just before the end of the first millennium? 1000 AD recreates life circa 999 AD, showing the everyday lives, loves and passions of the AngloSaxon people. Britain's system of social welfare, law and order and a yearning for knowledge made them the envy of Europe and a country under threat from violent and oppurtunistic raiders, the Vikings.

This docudrama runs alongside interviews with leading historians who paint a revealing picture of the political and social structure of preNorman Britain.
