Time Commanders Episode 2 of 3

Hosted by Gregg Wallace, a show in which ordinary members of the public go toe to toe with the greatest generals, as they refight some of the most significant battles from history in an innovative mix of genuine history and game show competition.

On 18 June 1815, 200,000 men fought in what would be the most important land battle Europe had ever seen, the Battle of Waterloo. This was a showdown between two of history's military giants, the Duke of Wellington with his British and Allied army, and Napoleon Bonaparte with his French Imperial Guard.

This time, a team of aquarium workers will be fighting as Napoleon and his French forces as they attempt to march across Europe and dominate the continent once more. Standing in their way, a team of competitive archers representing the Iron Duke himself at the head of a coalition force of British and Allied armies intent on stopping Napoleon in his tracks, on the border of Belgium.

Who will emerge victorious, and can history be rewritten?
