It's a good story, the Gunpowder Plot, of people having conviction and believing in something. What the King and his cronies were doing was wrong and they wanted to right that wrong...gave their lives for it. I'm not into religion and feel a great deal of harm has come from it/because of it, but I stand for those who cannot stand for themselves and admire others who do also.

Yes, I've seen the miniseries and liked it. It will be better if watched with some understanding of the real-life plot. Also, V for Vendetta. Great movie, also based around the Gunpowder Plot story, just modernised. I might watch it this weekend now you brought it up.

Lastly, on the celebrate the mum aspect of birthdays. I agree completely.
