On Hannibal's Trail

The Wood brothers - Danny, Sam and Ben - are out on a tour of history, and on bicycles!

In this magnificent series, the brothers cycle down more than 3500 kilometers on the same trek that Hannibal took 2,000 years ago when he made a historic charge on the Roman Empire. In the process, they uncover many known and many unknown facts about the celebrated commander
and the war he fought.

Leading a massive army of more than 100,000 warriors, equipped with 37 fabled war elephants,
Hannibal crisscrossed the Alps and Pyrenees to fight what is now known as one of the most
famous wars in history.
 
A Wood Brothers production for BBC.
