The Gunpowder Plot: Britain’s Most Famous Traitors (Ep 1)

As Queen Elizabeth I lay dying, why were the nation’s high profile Catholics rounded up and imprisoned? Why has history overlooked James I, the first king of Scotland and England? Who were the small group of wealthy Catholic men so angry with the new king that they ultimately planned to blow up Parliament?
