The Stuarts Series 2 By Mike Walker

The second series in a series of radio dramas written by Mike Walker, chronicling the histories of the Stuart Kings and Queens of England, from Mary Queen of Scots to Queen Anne.

1. Charles II, Part One – Through the World in Various Fortune (10 August 2014) 00:00
Charting the early life of Charles II, as a young boy in the court of his father and during the Civil War, his life in exile during the interregnum, and later his failed attempts to regain the crown. When news finally reaches him of Oliver Cromwell's death, Charles plots his return once more.

2. Charles II, Part Two – The Long Lease of Pleasant Days (17 August 2014) 56:50
Charles II fathered over a dozen illegitimate children, yet his wife Queen Catherine was unable to produce an heir. Mike Walker's sweeping epic sees Charles fending off the claims of his eldest son Monmouth and the plots against his increasingly unpopular Catholic wife and brother. All this while juggling an often tempestuous love life.

3. James II – The Storms of This Deceitful World (24 August 2014) 1:53:55
During his short reign James II faced rebellion led by his nephew and widespread condemnation for his policy of religious tolerance. When he produced a Catholic heir, the political tensions exploded and resulted in his son-in-law William of Orange landing an invading army in England. Why did it go so wrong for dismal Jimmy?
