Fizz Bang Wallop - A Tudor Firework Spectacular

Historian Lucy Worsley and materials scientist Zoe Laughlin explore the science and history of fireworks using an original pyrotechnics instruction manual from 1635 to recreate one of the most spectacular fireworks displays from the Tudor era.
　　In a 90-minute special, broadcast in the run-up to Guy Fawkes Night, BBC Four will assemble a team of top class pyrotechnicians to replicate a mind-blowing fireworks display especially designed for Queen Elizabeth I - one of the first documented firework displays in England.
　　Led by Lucy and Zoe, the team will apply their expertise in pyrotechnic science and Elizabethan history to replicate the original Tudor rockets, fireballs and fire-breathing dragons used to entertain The Virgin Queen herself at Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire.
　　The film will also use cutting-edge camera techniques to showcase fireworks like never before.
