What is A Very English Scandal about?
A Very English Scandal tells the shocking true story of Jeremy Thorpe, a disgraced member of parliament who in 1979 was tried but later acquitted of conspiring to murder his ex-lover Norman Scott.
The three-part drama is set in the late 1960s when Thorpe - played by Hugh Grant - was the leader of the Liberal Party and his former lover - Ben's role - was threatening to expose him for being in a homosexual relationship during an era when it was illegal within the laws of the UK.
A BBC statement explains: "The trial of Jeremy Thorpe changed society forever, illuminating the darkest secrets of the Establishment.
"The Thorpe affair revealed such breath-taking deceit and corruption that, at the time, hardly anyone dared believe it could be true."
