The Vikings Uncovered

BBC One

8.30pm

Historian Dan Snow and space archaeologist Dr Sarah Parcak follow the search for evidence that could be the furthest known point in Viking civilisation.

"I’d rather have internet than running water," declares Dan Snow, broadcaster, historian and self-confessed digital obsessive. Not content with making history programmes for broadcasters on subjects as diverse as China’s Terracotta Army and the D-Day landings, Snow is now building an online empire. His new tools are apps, YouTube videos, Facebook, Twitter (where he has a whopping 100,000 followers) and, most recently, Periscope, the Twitter-owned live video app.
