Description


In a country obsessed with gossip, the great and the good fear one thing more than any other - scandal.

British scandals change the course of history. They bring down governments, overthrow the rich and cause the mighty to fall. Some are about sex, others about money. In the end, they’re all about power. 

But often at the heart of a scandal, there are ordinary human stories. Stories of those caught up in the swirl of outrage. 

Who was really to blame for what happened? Why did they do it? And when all is said and done, did anything really change?   

From the creators of Business Wars, American Scandal and Ghost Story, comes British Scandal. Each week, hosts Alice Levine and Matt Forde delve into the murkier side of the British elite, from Phone Hacking to Profumo to the short-lived premiership of Liz Truss. Because sometimes the truth doesn’t set everyone free…

sadly yes - just unlistenable due to the cringe making non-comedy of Phil Wang. sorry Phil I'm sure you have a thousand hidden talents but Comedy is sure not one of them.

I never thought I’d consider turning off a podcast about the Krays but this Tim bloke is ruining it. Every time he opens his mouth I cringe!

How on earth did the hosts completely gloss over the fact that Norman was raped on that first night???????

I think the title of this series is wrong. It should read “How Yoko was the most awesome person of all time “

Hands down the absolute worst Series by this podcast. So unbelievably one sided it almost seems like the Whitehouse family paid for this to put across a narrative.

Was this Series written by Mary herself? There’s also absolutely no negative quips that fill other episodes . Mary Whitehead is being presented as a sympathetic hero…

This interview comes off a little shill sounding. Regardless of opinion, He is most certainly very one sided.

spoilt by the mocking and stupid quips by Matt and Alice laughing every time he thinks he is making a clever comment.

The narrative is good and well-told as always ; however, it's disheartening for Atkins. I suspect there might be more to his downfall, suggesting that powerful figures in the establishedment initially supported him to secure lucrative defense contracts from the corrupt Saudi regime. When he neared leadership, his pro-Palestinian and Arab cause views may have made him unwelcome, prompting them to remove him. Because what he did was not worse than This with the misdeeds of other ministers in their private lives. Recall the phrase "being economical with the truth."
