Script by Hugh Ross Williamson Edited and produced by Robert Gittings
This programme, on the 300th anniversary of the trial and execution of Charles I. is taken entirely from contemporary accounts, which have been selected on the grounds of historical probability and chosen impartially from writers of varying opinions. The events of ten days are necessarily condensed, but care has been taken not to compress anything that might have a major bearing on this profoundly important landmark in British history
