Inside The Tower of London: Crimes, Conspiracies, Confessions
For the first time Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress, The Tower of London has allowed access to television cameras creating a documentary series that goes to the heart of its history.
Episode 1
Bishop Bonner, who tortured both Catholics and Protestants in the turbulent years following the reign of Henry VIII; why the Tower was constructed, why it was built, where it is, how it developed.
Episode 2
Alice Tankerville and her attempts to woo her way out of trouble with a prison guard; how Watt Tyler led the only force to storm the Tower; and how the legend grew that if you took the Tower you took the country.
Episode 3
The Princess in the Tower, who lost their lives in mysterious circumstances; evil Judge Jeffries and how he came to regret his actions, and the larger-than-life Colonel Blood, who remains the only person to steal the Crown Jewels.
Episode 4
Some of the more famous prisoners, such as the only American imprisoned, who was convicted of spying but rather than taking the infamous walk to the block ended up becoming the toast of London society.
