How can I find a tv miniseries about London's history produced in 2004 or 2005?

Question

I was living in the UK in 2004-5 and recall watching an interesting TV series on London's history. I can't recall which station the series was on (maybe BBC/ITV/Sky), but wanted to find out more about this program. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks.

Answer 1

There was a great 3 part documentary series on the Discovery Channel called "We Built This City", with episodes each on the histories of London, Paris and New York.

The episode on London traced the city from a Roman settlement to modern times. It was directed by Paul Burgess.

You can find it on You Tube:

Answer 2

Hmmm...there was a very short lived TV drama in the same time frame called American Embassy that was set in London. Not sure if it's the same series.
