Remember, Remember, the Fifth of November, Gunpowder Treason and Plot
Following the showing of the first part, just over a week ago, of the new BBC drama serial ‘Gunpowder’, BBC executives have been criticised for what many have regarded as the unnecessarily gruesome and gory presentation of the Guy Fawkes November 5th plot to blow up parliament. While the programme allegedly features the most violent and viscerally gory scenes of torture and execution ever screened on primetime television, and disturbing though these scenes have been,…
