This time on We Are History; our bold and fearless non-historians Angela Barnes and John O’Farrell find out how and why Britain’s first major terrorist plot was conceived and ultimately thwarted.
Expect barrels of explosive fun, gory retribution and hear why we burn the wrong person on Bonfire night.
