The BBC has been accused of reimagining British history to make it more woke-friendly after it emerged that a children’s programme will teach that the nation’s earliest inhabitants were black.
An episode of the BBC children’s series Horrible Histories will focus on the role of black people in Britain’s past. Launched in 2009, the series uses comedy sketches to help young people familiarize themselves with troubling chapters from history.
