See Kit Harington and Liv Tyler in Gunpowder for the first time
The stars of the BBC’s new historical drama appear in images and a trailer for the series.
Kit Harington and Liv Tyler can be seen for the first time in character for a TV series about a key moment in British history, the Gunpowder Plot.
The Game Of Thrones actor plays Robert Catesby in the forthcoming BBC One drama Gunpowder, a Warwickshire gentleman who was the mastermind behind the plan to blow up the Houses of Parliament on November 5 1605.
The newly released promo shows a trail of gunpowder leading to a cellar where Fawkes is waiting, but when the camera pans further round it shows Catesby standing behind him narrating the clip.
He explains what has led him to create the drastic plot, ramping up the tension for what is sure to be a highly anticipated three-part series in the autumn.
Released alongside the trailer are three new images showing Harington as Catesby, Lord Of The Rings star Tyler as his cousin Lady Anne Vaux who also became embroiled in the plot, and Edward Holcroft as another of the conspirators, Thomas Wintour.
The three hour-long episodes will be shown this autumn on Saturday nights on BBC One.
