God's Revolution - Don Taylor
A
12-part BBC Radio 4 history drama set in the years 1647-49 during the
English Civil War (1642-51).
Quote:
Docu-drama about the events before and after the death of Charles I, particularly the Levellers' insurrection.
There was a remarkable moment in English history when for a few brief years all things seemed possible. The power of the king was set aside and for a moment the ordinary people of England seemed to hold their future in their own hands. With Charles 1st dispossessed it was uncertain whether control would move to Parliament or the people themselves as Cromwell's New Model Army showed signs of relishing its new freedoms.

It's a good series and this is my second time listening to it.
