Undercover Agent at The Battle of Hastings [REPLAY]

The Battle of Hastings turns 960 this week. On 14 October 1066, one afternoon on a Sussex hillside ended Anglo-Saxon England, kicked off the Norman Conquest and handed the crown to William the Conqueror. To mark the anniversary, we're revisiting our Season 4 episode where Keon went back to stop it, armed with a red leather jacket, a single sparkling glove and an unshakeable faith in the moonwalk.

Keon has two objectives: keep King Harold alive, and get himself stitched into the Bayeux Tapestry. It's one of the most pivotal days in history. The day that changed the course of English history forever. And Keon is about to put himself front and center.

The real Harold had just marched his army the length of England to beat Harald Hardrada's Viking invasion at Stamford Bridge, then turned straight round to face William less than three weeks later. He fell on Senlac Hill, and the arrow-in-the-eye legend owes a lot to the Bayeux Tapestry, a 70-metre embroidery that's now at the British Museum, back in Britain for the first time in almost 1,000 years. If Agent M's plan worked, there should be a moonwalking man in one sparkly glove somewhere in the middle of it. Good luck getting a ticket to check. Learn more about your ad choices.
