   BBC CXII: Treason and Plot

   Timewatch on BBC1 last night was nominally about the gunpowder plot, but it   
   was in fact a fifty-minute   
   apologia/advert for Al Quaeda, with Antonia Fraser singing loudest of the   
   lot (Harold Pinter's missis). The first shot of the programme was Antonia   
   Fraser saying: "When you see how catholics were treated in England you can   
   see why people turn to terrorism". Soon after an Oxford scholar was telling   
   us that Catesby and co were rich and intellgent with a genuine greivance,   
   like the terrorists of the arab world.
