236 Fire!
A show for broadcast on November 5th, which is Bonfire Night in the UK, when bonfires and fireworks are indulged in. Having a theme of fire produced a very large number of candidate tracks, and they were reduced to one two-hour show with enough left over for another, so we’ll do this again.
Complete with exposition and explanation of the whole Gunpowder Plot, Guy Fawkes thing including burning figures in effigy – no longer the Pope, we are relieved to say.
Preshow.
