The first series of videos is a BBC documentary in which writer and journalist Christopher de Bellaigue explores the history of Britain's relations with Iran. From the times where the Brits used Iran as a buffer state protecting "their" India up to the present.

I don't have to remind you that these videos are made by a Western broadcaster, giving the views from the West. But still interesting viewing.
