The Gunpowder Plot: The Explosive Conspiracy That Almost Changed England Forever!

In conversation with Philippa Lacey, Dr Elizabeth Norton and Professor Stephen Alford discuss the ineptitude of the Gunpowder plotters, the societal perceptions of the event, and the potential alternate histories had the plot succeeded.
