The Jeremy Thorpe Scandal (2018)

In 1979, former Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe was tried for his involvement in the attempted murder of his former gay lover Norman Scott. This documentary about the political forces that tried to protect Thorpe was made on the assumption that he would be found guilty, but was scrapped when an unexpected not-guilty verdict was returned. It was shown for the first time in 2018, alongside the dramatization A Very English Scandal (2018), in an updated and edited form, following the death of Thorpe which prevents him bringing a libel action.
