Bonfire Night
Episode m000b03t, broadcast at Tuesday 5th November 2019, 7:00pm.
“Gunpowder plot and bonfire night. Tonight's In Tune Mixtape wraps up warm and heads outside to mark over 400 years since Guy Fawkes was discovered under the House of Lords with his barrels of gunpowder. Along the way we meet a lovelorn Lord Chancellor, Wotan surrounding his daughter with eternal Magic Fire, and Love the Magician, Prokofiev enjoying a Winter Bonfire and someone who is absolutely, definitely not the head of the Catholic Church.”
