Sky History

HISTORY takes viewers on a journey through the ages, connecting our modern world with its historic roots in a way that is absorbing, exciting, and often surprising. Its high quality programming challenges perceptions of the past, telling stories of well known adventures and those that have remained hidden over time. Through contemporary filmmaking techniques, vivid reconstruction and gripping narrative, HISTORY transports you from the sofa into the thick of the action.
