LUCY WORSLEY INVESTIGATES
(BBC2)
Lucy Worsley is back on the detective trail, reinvestigating four dramatic chapters and iconic characters in British history – the Gunpowder Plot, Bloody Mary, Jack the Ripper and the legacy of William the Conqueror’s invasion of 1066.
Examining each case in forensic detail, Lucy follows the evidence to uncover overlooked witnesses and victims, new heroes and villains while exploring how the mysteries unlock issues that speak to modern audiences – from the media treatment of female victims, the experience of the poorest in society to the political radicalisation of young people.
