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…

The Podcast itself is brilliant with lots of information, all told in an amusing way. The "comic asides" from the non-presenter are never funny and just annoying.
I can't get over Matt's Boris voice. brilliant!
if you dont like it stop listening...simple. i love it so i keep listening...simple!
As a born and bred Aussie, the town is pronounced ' Wogga Wogga' !
it's great, terribly british, informative and funny
That was a great series. Well done!
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!
It’s incredible that this story is told with such a sympathetic bent towards Camilla and the royals..Wow
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.

Oh for God sake. Surely there is something better to discuss than this. Adios, I'm out

This guy is horrendously not funny. Talk about try hard.
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."
I think the fact that he got away with so much makes me detest him more
im glad Matt is well but its not the same without him
So glad to hear from Matt after his surgery!
I could tell from the endless ads on American scandal that the presenters were annoying but, have exhausted all American scandal episodes, I gave it a go. wish I didnt, exactly as per the ads......painful banter
Boeing Honeywell Uninterruptible Autopilot. Imo Diana was murdered.
Some of the young men he was with were barely teenagers. Even today he would get more than two years.
This should never have been put out, what a let down, Wondery obly have one bad show and this is it. Both presenters are WOKE Establishment BBC types. And im glad they will all end up going the same way as the DODO
Your podcasts are the best! And this one, wow, amazing!
love this show , just discovered about a month ago and all caught up now, if you like the podcast type of history or crime with a good laugh as to keep the story going this is the podcast for you
Philby Kim Blunt Anthony White Dick
wow, this was a powerful interview. Happy Norman is able to tell his story a true hero.
I've been really enjoying this podcast ...informative and funny!
such an excellent interview, masterfully navigated by Alice!!
I so love this podcast! And I can’t believe what Archer got away with. Amazing he doesn’t get stressed.
Five stars, great combo of Matt and Alice
great podcast. it's one of a few that genuinely entertains. Good factual content, fantastic narrative structure and some actual personality in between it all. There are so many banal monotone shows out there that could learn from this. Keep em coming guys!
really good and interesting stories, but think it would be better without the attempted humour
Privileged pompous ass. End of story.
Fascinating!
there was no 1 o'clock news on TV in the 1960s
