In 1605, a group of radical Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, came within hours of blowing up the Houses of Parliament. Had they not been stopped, they could have changed British history entirely. Lucy Worsley investigates what drove them to attempt such an audacious act. She looks at the motivations of the plotters, and visits the room where Guy Fawkes finally faced his interrogators.
