Anyone looking forward ?

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.

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

Jon Snow flouncing about in breeches?

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

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

Yep me, hopefully it will be good

Yes I am, love a bit of historical drama

Apparently it's rather gory

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

Absolutely - looking forward to this.

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

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.

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

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!

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!

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

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

But very good

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

They were gory times ....

No definitely not.

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

Oh yes

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

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

He is on ONE SHOW right now

God the crappy short man comments start...
