Drama-documentary about the life of Elizabeth I, featuring reconstructions of key moments in her reign starring Lily Cole as the queen. The first episode focuses on her teenage years, which she spent banished from the royal court as siblings Edward and Mary came to the throne in turn. The programme explores how an ambitious nobleman plotted to use her to seize the throne for himself, and how she faced execution at her sister's order before her coronation in 1558.
