Written by Russel T Davis, based on real events, and JT`s fall from power etc.
Wonder if Keith Harding will be mentioned...
How many people on here have cycled up to his wife's memorial?
I was up there on Wednesday!

An oldie but a goodie: (poss. spoiler warning)
That is a brilliant sketch ninfan. One of my favourite of Peter Cook.
Well that was jolly good.
The book is excellent. God forbid that our politicians are still as sleazy and incompetent.
Paddington 3 got a bit dark.
There was Vaseline!
Huge Rant on form, apparently.
Always thought there was more acting ability in there than his portrayal of the stuttering English naif...
There was Vaseline!
Well, the label does say “use liberally”.
Started but after 5 mins just couldn't be arsed ..err I mean just didnt need those sort of shenanigans rammed down my throat..what I mean is I thought the acting was a bit stiff ..in the end ..just not my cup of tea..
Well you missed the point then; the actors were trying and almost succeeding in portraying the way beople actually spoke and behaved in those days. They were stiff, formal, narrow-minded and spoke with clipped BBC accents. Anybody aged under about 50 just won't have any idea of how it was back in the years before it became unfashionable to talk posh.
I was surprised to see a black security man in the Commons when I'd have thought those kinds of jobs were a closed shop for white protestant Anglo-Saxons.
The stiff I was referring to was a little play on words ..would it have helped if I had said it was a little too gay ?
+1 globalti
Fun fact - my uncle was a ‘close personal friend’ of his for several years before it all kicked off in court.
The fun will really start with episode 2 when they try to kill Scott then episode 3 when the establishment mounts one of the most biased High Court trials in the history of Britain, to protect Thorpe and discredit Scott.

How gay would you have liked it to be? Perhaps you could describe the relevant elements of the programme.
What with all the mucky goings on, do you reckon Thorpe and Cyril ever got it on?
Or was their mutual interest confined to what Keith Harding had to offer...
Ranos ..why on earth would I want to do that ..Ive already said that I lost interest after 5 mins ..due to the fairly graphic homosexual element ..
Why do you need it explaining to you ..didnt you understand ?
Who would have thought that a drama about Jeremy Thorpe would involve some depiction of homosexuality?
Russell T Davies has no history of bringing such acts to the screen in his prior work.
Outraged, etc..
due to the fairly graphic homosexual element ..
Graphic?? They did kiss but it was nothing like Game of thrones!!
Cool ..youre obviously a fan ..😁
I've never followed his prior works so wouldn't know..
Perhaps it was because the homosexuality was so front & centre in the programme ..whereas it is not so prominent in GOT.
due to the fairly graphic homosexual element ..
Why do you need it explaining to you ..didnt you understand ?
I can't say I understand either. It wasn't graphic in any way.

Ah not enough tits 🙂
Wind your neck in JHJ, it's almost like you're trying to conflate homosexuLity with paedophilia and/or promiscuity. And no I don't want a big list of links to YouTube or random websites.

What homosexual elements were graphic enough for you to lose interest? And is it something specific to male homosexuality?
Damn, the guy is big. Why are you talking about homosexual thing?
Wind your neck in JHJ, it’s almost like you’re trying to conflate homosexuLity with paedophilia and/or promiscuity.
You're right of course, how foolish of me to question the fact that Jeremy Thorpe, Cyril Smith and Jimmy Savile used to visit a known member of an organized paedophile network, who went on to become head of the GCHQ Masonic Lodge.
Obviously an isolated incident, nothing to see here, etc etc
Check out Peter Cook as the trial judge on YouTube, it's priceless.
Did you mean the one posted at the top of this thread Billmc ?
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Yep, missed that, must pay more attention!</span>
