The Rest Is History

β€˜Remember, remember / the Fifth of November / Gunpowder, treason & plot.” But what is it exactly we are remembering on Bonfire Night? Tom & Dominic explore what - if it had succeeded - would have been the most spectacular terrorist attack in British history: its background, its legacy, & the controversies that still bedevil our understanding of it. *The Rest Is History Live Tour 2023*: Tom and Dominic are back on tour this autumn!
