Re: Gunpowder
I found episode one just a little bit slow for my liking but will watch the rest as I have always been interested in the gunpowder plot.Re: Gunpowder
I always watch (and usually enjoy) any accurate historical drama. Found this had too much (to me) gratuatious violence. I had recorded it and f.forwarded those bits. Surely suggestion would have been just as good for the play, rather than 'showing. I also watched the very excellent docudrama on Elizabeth's Secret Agents. Obviously, we were made to understand that horrific tortures would have been used to get information/confessions - but they did not need to shown. Even the execution of Mary Queen of Scots, which was pretty horrific, was reported. I think this is a far better way.
