Guy Fawkes: Exploding The Myth

[Peter Parka]

This is so awesome. A team constructed a life size and realistically made house of parliment from the time of Guy Fawkes. Got together the most like and amount of explosives he was planning on using before he was rumbled and then blew the thing up to see how successful it would have been if the plotters wern't caught. Awesome!:rockon:

Yeah, I remember when they made that program he nearly got into a hell of a lot of trouble in France. To get the gunpowder which was made the same way as 400 years ago they had to go to a guy who makes it in France. When they were coming back through customs they had traces of it on their clothes which was detected and set off a massive security alert!:willy_nilly:

That had a shit load of trouble getting permission to ship the stuff to Britain too!
