The Hidden Killers of the Tudor Home, BBC4 – TV review". The Independent. Archived from the original on 21 April 2015 . Retrieved 27 February 2015. I have only just found the series Bloody Tales of the Tower, previously on National Geographic and now on Channel 5 ( http://www.channel5.com/show/bloody-tales-of-the-tower and http://www.natgeotv.com/za/bloody-tales-of-the-tower), and have to say that I enjoyed it very much. The presenters, Suzannah Lipscomb and Joe Crowley, are at ease in their roles and with each other, and do not adopt a patronising, superior attitude, as some do. Suzannah is a Tudor historian, and very sensible with it. Tower of London ghosts include the phantom shrieks of Guy Fawkes heard wailing from the room where he was prepared for execution. 4.

[39] Lipscomb also contributed to Time Team, Series 20, for Channel 4. [40]

There is a good format of setting the scene and then dividing the tasks in two, then going their separate ways until coming together again toward the end, to weave their discoveries together. Suzannah leads us effortlessly through the story itself and the sources, while Joe discovers how things worked, who did them, what they looked like and so on. It may sound as if it’s aimed at teenagers tops, but it isn’t. I’m no teenager, and it was fine by me.

The second part of the trilogy is called Death to Traitors, and covered the tales of Father John Gerard, who survived secretly in Elizabeth I’s Protestant England. He escaped from the Tower and lived to his 70s on the Continent. He wrote his story, which is how we know so much about his escape. (One oddity I noticed during this story was the careful use of white gloves to examine an old copy of Gerard’s story, yet earlier I noticed there were no gloves at all for poking around in a beautifully illustrated copy of Walsingham! Isn’t there a rule on this sort of thing?) Wollaston, Sam (2015). "The Last Days of Anne Boleyn; The Hunt for Britain's Sex Gangs – TV review | Television & radio | The Guardian". Theguardian.com.
