Gunpowder Plot TV recreation may be shelved after bombs

A MULTI-MILLION pound British TV recreation of the Gunpowder Plot may have to be shelved as a result of the London bombings.

ITV had planned to blow up a full-size replica of the House of Lords using 36 barrels of gunpowder in a bid to show what would have happened if Guy Fawkes’ plot had succeeded.

The show is billed as “the biggest historical and scientific experiment ever seen on television”.
