  • Resumen

  • With the UK election a mere few days away (at time of release), what better time to look back at some of the biggest scandals in our political history?


    In this episode, Kate's exploring the notorious Profumo affair of the early 1960s and the Thorpe Affair of the 1970s.


    They had it all: sex, espionage and corruption at the highest level of society. It's no wonder they caught the attention of the world's media.


    Joining Kate today is Richard Davenport-Hines, author of An English Affair: Sex, Class and Power in the Age of Profumo to find out more about them.


    This episode was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
