On Guy Fawkes Day, I like to show the clip of what would have happened if he had succeeded in getting the gunpowder lit off. The BBC did a documentary a few years ago with Richard Hammond (of Top Gear fame) as the presenter. They went through the history of what happened, then went out and built a replica of the 1605 Parliament building and used the same amount of gunpowder Fawkes had laid on for the plot.
What might have happened? Let's find out...
Guy Fawkes Gunpowder Plot...would it have worked?
