A Very English Scandal.
Paul and Elgin review A #VeryEnglishScandal:
A Very English Scandal on Amazon Prime (originally on the BBC), written by Russell T Davies, directed by Stephen Frears, and starring Hugh Grant and Ben Whishaw. This three-part minseries tells the stories of Jeremy Thorpe (Grant), a Member of Parliament, and Norman Josiffe/Scott (Whishaw), a stable hand (and later a model). The former tried to have the latter killed in order to ensure their past relationship would remain out of the public eye. Thorpe was put on trial for conspiracy and incitement to murder, and while he was acquitted, his political career was ended. We talk about the two leads’ performances, the pacing of the three nearly hour-long episodes, and what the series says about gay life and British politics and society in the 1960s and ’70s.
