Documentary. We take our liberties for granted. They seem absolute and untouchable. But they are the result of a series of violent struggles fought over 800 years that, at times, have threatened to tear our society apart. On the frontline was a document originally inked on animal skin - Magna Carta. David Starkey looks at the origins of this document created in 1215 to check the abuses of King John - and how it nearly died at birth.
