In the final part of his journey, Michael Wood looks at Shakespeare's life in the era of King James 1. He unearths his neighbourhood in London and visits the present queen's robe makers for evidence of Shakespeare's role in the royal coronation. But Shakespeare's world would be transformed in 1605 by the Gunpowder Plot, a Jacobean September 11h. The entertainment industry responded, and Shakespeare contributed a daring play about the murder of a King - 'Macbeth'. Finally Wood follows Shakespeare back to Warwickshire and looks at the riddle of his will, and its strange bequest to his wife Anne.
