Synopsis:

This spectacular six-part series brings to life the valiant yet doomed attempt by Boudicca, the widowed Queen of the Iceni tribe of East Anglia, to wrest power from the Romans in first-century Britain. Produced by Ruth Boswell (Timeslip, Tightrope, Shadows), Warrior Queen stars Sian Phillips as the fearless Celtic queen, Nigel Hawthorne as Catus Decianus, the rapacious Roman Procurator, and Michael Gothard as Druid priest Volthan. It is AD61. The Romans rule Britain. Prasutagus, King of the Iceni, is dying. In his will, he bequeaths one half of his kingdom to his two daughters; the other half is to be ceded to the Roman Emperor, Nero. Prasutagus's widow, Queen Boudicca, invites the Roman Procurator, Catus Decianus, to attend his burial. Catus Decianus, however, has no intention of attending 'this flea-bitten king's funeral'; instead, he arrives when it is over. It is an ominous sign...

The complete 1970s TV series following a warrior queen's attempts to hold the Romans at bay in first century Britain. When her husband, the ruler of a Celtic clan, dies, Queen Boudicca (Siân Phillips) takes the throne. Though the late King promised half of his land to the Romans upon his death, this isn't enough to satisfy the merciless Roman Procurator, Catus Decianus (Nigel Hawthorne), who wants more. Queen Boudicca and her clan may well be forced to fight the might of the Roman Empire if they are to maintain their own kingdom and Celtic identity.
