Gunpowder, Treason And Plot by A.J. Walton
Saturday-Night Theatre:
Gunpowder Treason and Plot
Sat 1st Nov 1980, 20:30 on BBC Radio 4 FM
By A. J. Walton
From the book 'Guy Fawkes - The True Story of the Gunpowder Plot' by Francis Edwards.
Guy Fawkes is burnt in effigy every 5th of November to commemorate the deliverance of the King and Parliament from a dastardly Popish plot. But what if the legend is based on a deliberate plan to deceive the country and discredit the Catholics? What if Guy himself was a voluntary participant, only on condition that he would be reprieved on the scaffold?

“Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.”
WHO WERE THE PLOTTERS?
Along with Fawkes and cousins Catesby and Wintour, the plotters included Wintour’s brother Robert, their brother-in-law John Grant, Catesby’s second cousin Francis Tresham, his servant Thomas Bates, Fawkes’ childhood classmates Christopher and John Wright, their brother-in-law Thomas Percy, Everard Digby, Ambrose Rookwood, and Robert Keyes.
No one in the group knew much about gunpowder, apart from Fawkes, an explosives expert from his military days. Naturally he was chosen to set the fuse in the cellars underneath the Houses of Parliament.
