BBC4 9pm - Britain's Outlaws: Highwaymen, Pirates and Rogues
Sam Willis explores the golden age of piracy during the early 18th century and charts the devastating impact pirates had during an era of colonial expansion.
Missed the first episode (of three), but I am going to watch tonight's.
It, and the other episodes, can be found on the BBC iPlayer. [I don't know if they play outside of the UK - you'll have to check]
