From Watching-guides:
"In The Witchfinder it's the year 1645 during the English Civil War when fear of witchcraft is rife throughout the country. Puritanical Christianity, deep-seated superstition and a willingness to scapegoat outsiders have created a tinderbox of suspicion in which few are safe. The career of 'witchfinding' has flourished, as self-appointed witch experts achieve hero status by investigating accusations of witchery and extracting confessions. A failing but careerist witchfinder Gideon Bannister (Tim Key) transports a suspected witch Thomasine Gooch (Daisy May Cooper ) across 1640s East Anglia to a trial that could change his fortunes for ever. But his captive is the worst possible travel companion. She's an inquisitive, uncouth woman whose ability to prick his pomposity and ask uncomfortable questions turns a straightforward journey into a life-changing ordeal."
Will Thomasine burn at the stake? Not if 'Bee Beard' has a say at the witch trial. 🐝
