The Gunpowder Plot - Full Documentary
Commemorated annually on 5th November, Guy Fawkes' plan to blow up the Houses of Parliament - immortalised as the Gunpowder Plot - we will live forever as one of history's most audacious acts of treason.

The murder of newly crowned James I was plotted in 1605 by a group of high-born 'Papist Malcontents', a soldier of fortune Fawkes, being entrusted to light the fuse in the Commons cellars. After an eleventh-hour tip-off, the plotters were discovered, tortured and executed. Here, superb recreations and reconstructions tell the full dramatic story.
