History in the making

There's some interest still today in the production team behind Andrew Marr's new series, A History of The World. Nearly two years in the making, the first of eight parts is on BBC1 on Sunday 23 September at 9pm - more traditionally a drama slot in recent years. There is also a book to accompany the series, though this had been entitled "A New History of The World", and is already marked down on Amazon, from £25 to £13.75.

Here are some of the people involved in the show's conception and delivery.
