Gunpowder

9.10PM, BBC1

Thankfully, the gore factor isn’t as high this week – I won’t forget that execution scene in a hurry – as Catesby (Kit Harington) returns to London with Guy Fawkes in tow, and assembles his gang of plotters for the first time. With Cecil’s spies closing in, they have to act fast and set a date for their deadly plot that will always be remembered: November 5.
