Thank you all for the many great suggestions! It's always tough to create a shortlist, but here it is:

Option 1: 'The Greatest Speech in History? Part 2'. This will be a dramatisation of a great speech from classical history, in the same style as the Alexander speech at Opis. Could be Caesar, could be Pericles, lots of options! (probably another poll to decide).

Option 2: 'History of Venice Part 2'. The long-awaited sequel, concluding the story of the Serene Republic, including wars against the Ottoman Empire and  eventual extinction at the hands of one General Napoleon Bonaparte..

Option 3: '1848: Year of Revolutions'. An overview of this tumultuous and hugely influential year in European history. 

Option 4: 'Battle of Tsushima'. Japan's Trafalgar, a surprise, decisive naval victory that marked the emergence of a new Pacific power.

There were lots of other good suggestions, particular mention to the Siege of Malta, Shackleton's expedition, Isandlwana and the career of Suvorov. All might appear in future polls. The poll for the next short series will be posted tomorrow. 

Poll closes in 1 week!
