The Gunpowder Plot

BBC One
on BBC One London

An Investigation by Stuart Hood
Conducted by John Gregson
See page 31

What do we know about Guy Fawkes - the real man who has somehow got mixed up with the ancient ritual of November bonfires? We know some facts - that Guy Fawkes was a technical expert called in by the desperate men of the gunpowder plot. But we shall never know the whole truth. This programme looks at one possible version of what happened.
