NEW DRAMA Gunpowder Siege Monday, 9pm, Sky History & Sky Showcase (box set, Sky Box Sets/NOW)

Every schoolchild knows how close Guy Fawkes came to blowing up Parliament and killing King James I in November 1605 - but Fawkes wasn't the only plotter who suffered fatal consequences for his actions.

Three-part series Gunpowder Siege is set in the hours and days after Fawkes was seized beneath the Palace of Westminster and follows the fate of the other Catholic conspirators as they flee north.
