10pm ELIZABETH I & ELIZABETH II: BRITAINS GOLDEN QUEENS - A two-part series that looks at the similarities between the two monarchs, who both ascended the throne as relative 'unknowns' and struggled to be respected.

ELIZABETH I ELIZABETH II GOLDEN QUEENS

Elizabeth II became queen on June 2, 1953, when she was 25, after her father King George VI, with whom Winston Churchill worked during the Second World War and after, died of lung cancer aged 50.

Historian Tracy Borman states that officials suspected the Queen was 'naive' and 'didn't know anything about running a country'.

Meanwhile Elizabeth I, who ascended the throne unexpectedly on January 15, 1559, after being discarded by her father Henry VIII, faced the same sort of issue.

And it appears the two Queens used a similar technique to win their subjects over: speaking to them directly and organizing 'walkabouts'.

The program explains how Elizabeth 1 was the first monarch to approach ordinary people and talk to them directly and how Elizabeth II was the first monarch to really bring back the walkabout tradition into royal duty.
