Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder treason and plot
We see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
I've never seen a film recreating the events of the Gunpowder Plot, but a quick glance at the first sentance on this site - "Assassination, intrigue, persecution, spying, mass murder and finally a plot to blow up Parliament" - shows that this story has the all the makings of a historical Hollywood blockbuster! The site has been created to mark the 400th anniversary of the failed plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Using original documents from the period held in the archives of the Houses of Parliament, the site builds an interactive timeline of events leading up to the the plot.
It tells a good story very well, and does so in two versions - the normal adult site, and a special version aimed at 7-14 year olds (using mock-Elizabethan trading cards as illustrations!)
