Tony Robinson explores the weird and wonderful history of belief, superstition and religious experience in Britain. For 2000 years, Britain has been a Christian country; or has it? Our ancestors actually kept many other dark, fantastical beliefs alive. It was a world underpinned by outlandish, dangerous and weird beliefs. Ideas that today seem unbelievable, but were seen as uncontroversial and hugely influential, with some having shaped our history as much as mainstream religion. Imagine a world full of demons who could enter your body and take control of it; a world populated by spirits you couldn't see that would steal humans - and especially babies, leaving 'changelings' in their place - a world where inappropriate behaviour or mental illness was taken as evidence of possession by a devil, and a sign that your soul was damned to Hell.
