In 1605, a group of English Catholics plotted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and assassinate King James I. At the heart of it was Guy Fawkes, a name still remembered in England every November 5th. But what led to this bold plan, and how was it ultimately foiled? Tonight, explore the twists, turns, and lasting legacy of the Gunpowder Plot, one of history's greatest conspiracies, as you drift into a deep and restful sleep.
