Historical events that haven’t been made into films/tv
Discussion
About three years ago, Mrs Rover and I visited Coughton Court in Warwickshire, which as it turns out, is one one of several properties in the midlands that have a major connection to the Gunpowder Plot. Walking round the property I picked up a lot of info that I wasn’t previously aware (I won’t give any spoilers!!!)
Anyway, afterwards, I recall chatting to the missus and saying, “I’m surprised someone hasn’t made a big blockbuster / major tv series about all this given that such it big part of British history.” Lo and behold, someone now has.

Which got me thinking. What other major historical events (or perhaps even historical figures) have yet to be dramatised?
Off the top of my head, the sinking of HMS Lancastria could make interesting (and sad) viewing. Something about The Chartist movement could be good, as would a biopic of the chocolatiers, philanthropists and social campaigners, John Cadbury, Jospeh Rowntree and Elizabeth Fry.
