I enjoyed watching a rerun of The Good Life on BBC4 tonight but still not sure why the BBC never repeat The Norman Conquests. Does anyone know where to watch this1977 trilogy with Richard Briers? I've searched online but can only find a DVD box set (if only I had my DVD player).TIA

Bannow, Co. Wexford, 1169, is what I learned in school but really since the Battle of Clontarf in 1014, up until the Elizabethan Conquest and the Flight of Earls in 1607.

They are still at it, get set for 2027 The Year of the Normans:
 
The Norman Conquests was a Thames TV production, so BBC4 unlikely to air it.
ITV4 raids the ITV archives for sport, comedy and cop\crime\whodunnit type shows but not this sort of show alas.

Yep, the Brits acknowledge that being invaded and conquered by a French King was the making of them as a nation. They know who their betters are. Indeed, 70% of Britain is still owned by descendants of Willian the Conqueror. Just think about that; 1000 years later and less than 1% of the British population, almost all of them descendants of William, own 70% of the land. Only Brazil has a more unequal land ownership ratio but that's way more recent.
