Synopsis
A Very English Scandal (2018) is a BBC One miniseries you can watch online on iFILM. Director Stephen Frears dramatised the real-life Jeremy Thorpe affair — a story so strange it barely needed invention: the leader of Britain's Liberal Party, accused of plotting to kill his former lover Norman Scott.
Hugh Grant plays Thorpe, polished and ice-cold beneath the charm. Ben Whishaw is Scott — damaged, erratic, and absolutely impossible to silence. Set in the late 1960s, just after homosexuality was decriminalised in England, the series tracks how far a man will reach to protect a political career built on a secret.
For a story involving a hired killer and a dog on a Devon moor, it turns out to be genuinely, uncomfortably funny — which is exactly what keeps the real horror close to the surface. Watch A Very English Scandal (2018) online on iFILM.
