What to watch on TV tonight: Sunday
DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
Britain’s Forgotten Slave Owners (RTÉ 2, 8.30pm)
Historian David Olusoga uses this documentary to uncover Britain’s forgotten slave owners through various means. Tonight, David traces the bitter propaganda war between the pro-slavery lobby and the abolitionists, revealing that paying off slave owners for the loss of their human property was, ultimately, the only way to bring the system to an end. David takes a look at the records at the National Archives, which list the 46,000 British slave owners who lived across the British empire. Through this list, David discovers that there were 3,000 slave owners (including clergy and politicians) who lived in Britain that owned half of the slaves across the empire.
