Michael Berkeley talks to screenwriter Ronan Bennett about his new Âé¶¹Éç historical drama on the Gunpowder plot of 1605, starring Kit Harington, Mark Gatiss and Liv Tyler. In this series Bennett explores both the brutality with which religious agenda was deployed at the time, and an investigation of historical figure Robert Catesby portrayed by Harington - a distant descendant of Catesby himself.
