A series of six films which concentrate on a few hours of intense activity.

On 29 May this year 600 men and women from all over the country gathered in the grounds of Warwick Castle under the banner of the Sealed Knot Society. They had one thing in common, a hobby - the English Civil Wars of the 17th century; and on this particular day, the re-enactment of the Siege of Warwick Castle in 1642. Throughout the day they prepared - and as night fell, school-teachers and dustmen, bricklayers and solicitors, engaged in battle. History was re-written.
