Gunpowder, Treason And Plot

Award-winning writer Jimmy McGovern explores the lives of Mary Queen of Scots and her son, James I in this BBC drama. Robert Carlyle leads a prestigious cast in this lavish production. Peopled with infamous characters, driven by compelling drama and life with love, lust, politics and prejudice, we are offered a gripping ride through a fascinating period of history. Set against the brutal landscape of rebellion against religious repression, Gunpowder, Treason and Plot dramalises the short reign of Mary, Queen of Scots and the extraordinary battle of her son, James I, with the Catholic conspiracy against him. Guy Fawkes' Gunpowder Plot became one of the most scandalous events in English history, and remains so to this day.

    Worth a look

    If you missed it on TV the first time, it’s well worth a look now. Carlyle is impressive, although you do keep expecting Edmund Blackadder to appear over the horizon!
