Anyone looking forward ?

[Montacute]

I like the look of it but I'd have thought Sunday night was a more obvious night for it. I suppose they probably don't want to clash with Victoria.

[RhiannonOHara]

Yes, will give it a go. I like a bit of quasi-historical nonsense.

[PantPlot]

Jon Snow flouncing about in breeches?

Oh go on then, if there's nowt else on...

[NetflixandBill]

Really looking forward to it. I read Antonia Fraser's accound of the Gunpowder Plot a few years ago and loved the story

[cushioncovers]

Yep me, hopefully it will be good

[MinesaPinot]

Yes I am, love a bit of historical drama

[BitOutOfPractice]

Apparently it's rather gory

[GoldSpot]

Too gory for a 12 and 14 year old? DC are keen to watch!

[LouiseBrooks]

Absolutely - looking forward to this.

[BitOutOfPractice]

GoldSpot I read this review in the Metro which seemed to suggest it might be

[GoldSpot]

Thanks BitOutOfPractice - that doesn't look hopeful. I have had my eye out for some good drama for us all to watch together - looks like this isn't it.

[MomToWedThorFriday]

It’s quite late for me so I’m recording and watching at Victoria time. Really looking forward to it

[BitOutOfPractice]

No, it doesn't look like a normal BBC Sunday evening drama does it? Might be worth watching the first one yourself and seeing what it's like before traumatising the kids for life!

[GoldSpot]

Bit I'll be watching it with mil and she has a very low tolerance for violence and 'filth' - I'm not sure if she will last a whole episode - she can be my guinea pig!

[WipsGlitter]

Agree Saturday night seems an odd slot for this. I’m looking forward to it though.

[IhaveChillyToes]

Tv review on it this morning said very gory indeed @GoldSpot

[IhaveChillyToes]

But very good

[haveacupoftea]

I didn't realise this was on so soon. Really looking forward to it.

[LurkingHusband]

They were gory times ....

[woodhill]

No definitely not.

I like historical drama but this does not end well and I don't like watching gruesome things

[TheOtherNNB]

Oh yes

[maddiemookins16mum]

There's only one reason I'm watching.....

[Montacute]

I stopped fancying Kit Harringtom once I found out he was Smurf height.

[IhaveChillyToes]

He is on ONE SHOW right now

[BitOutOfPractice]

God the crappy short man comments start...
