S1, E5: George V's ascension to the throne in 1910 led to the birth of the House of Windsor. But, as Alexander Armstrong reveals in this entertaining documentary, the highly traditional king was a stickler for stuffy royal etiquette, enforcing a strict dress code and dining with bizarrely outdated formality. He also learns how the First World War made the bombing of Buckingham Palace a real possibility.
