Into The Fire...

NEW DRAMA

Gunpowder SATURDAY / BBC1 / 9.10PM

Kit Harington is famous around the world now, thanks his to his career-defining role as Jon Snow in American fantasy saga Game of Thrones.

But the London-born actor has come back home to the UK to star in a very personal British drama about his ancestor Robert Catesby, the brains behind the infamous Gunpowder plot of 1605.

Shot in Yorkshire, the three-part series tells the captivating story of Catesby and his fellow Catholics, facing persecution under King James I’s Protestant rule, hatching the most famous assassination plan in our nation’s history.

Kit, 30, who’s also a co-executive producer on the drama, tells TV Times all the gory details…

Kit, why were you so keen to make this drama?
