Lucy Worsley Investigates: Series 2 - DVD

Lucy is back on the detective trail, casting a forensic eye over some of history’s most notorious mysteries, which hold poignant lessons for today.

From the gunpowder plot to Bloody Mary, Lucy Worsley re-examines more famous historic events and figures in forensic detail, discovering overlooked witnesses and victims, and new heroes and villains. Each case is a window into a very different time but with eerie echoes of the present, raising familiar issues such as how the media treats female victims, the overlooking of the poorest in society and the political radicalisation of the young. Lucy reinvestigates with a modern perspective, revealing how the historic stories we continue to be obsessed with speak to us today.
