Blackbeard: Loved by some, hated by many, feared by everyone; this is the true story of Blackbeard (Edward Teach), the most notorious pirate the world has ever known. His reign of terror along the east coast of America and rash decision to strike at the heart of the government drove the authorities to put an end to piracy once and for all.

Britains Outlaws: Following in the wake of the infamous Captain Kidd, Blackbeard, Calico Jack and others, historian Dr. Sam Willis charts the devastating impact these pirates had during an era of colonial expansion and how, by plundering the vast network of seaborne trade, they became the most wanted outlaws in the world.
