As part of the commemorations and celebrations of the centenary of the start of World War One the History department, under the leadership of the head of department Dr Tod, are hosting a lecture series called "Reflections on World War One". These will be lectures and talks by notable speakers and historians at Epsom College. Videos of these events will be posted on YouTube and the first one is viewable here.

He has also presented history programmes for all major TV channels.

Most recently, he has returned to one of his great interests, the events of World War One, and has just published the outstanding 100 Days To Victory: How The Great War Was Fought and Won.
