Abigail Priddle, Creative Director BBC Studios Specialist Factual Productions, says: “Working with Lucy is a constant reminder to look beyond what you think you might know about these famous, even infamous, historical moments. We’re thrilled to be collaborating with Lucy again as she brings fresh perspectives and new revelations to the audience, showing how alive and relevant the past still is today.
Lucy’s investigative journey brings a contemporary perspective to each investigation, exploring how our changing attitudes to these dramatic moments in history can challenge our understanding of the past and provide us with new answers.The Gunpowder Plot – Over 400 years ago, a group of radical Catholics, including Guy Fawkes, came within hours of blowing up the Palace of Westminster, along with the King and his government.
