New BBC1 drama series available on iPlayer now.. well worth a watch highly recommended but very violent and gory.
The year is 1605, Queen Elizabeth the first has died she persecuted the Catholics as Enemy number one.her successor is the Scottish King James the first who promptly sets about persecuting the Catholics also, as we were at war with Catholic Spain.
Pissed off with this Robert catesby and Guy Fawkes set about a plan with fellow Catholics to blow up the King and the Houses of Parliament at the next sitting.
As we all know he was caught at the last minute and the plot failed.
It really drives home the way that this country has persecuted religion in all its forms in the past . Even today in Northern Ireland the war between Catholics and Protestants still continues....why?
