Host Michael Wood and Creator/Executive Producer Craig Pearce discuss the real Topcliffe who lived in Elizabethan times, and served as the Queen's Chief Persecutor of Catholics. They address the real torture chamber that existed in Topcliffe's mansion, and the reason why there is virtually no recorded history of Topcliffe save a handful of very chatty letters to the Queen. Craig also reveals his inspiration for the Alice Burbage character in the series and her love affair with Will, and addresses the surprise episode ending that has Will fighting against himself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
