A Very British Scandal
Yes, we’re living for the aristocratic tea spilling and shade-throwing of A Very British Scandal. The official synopsis had us at hello, sort of. It states: "Famed for her charisma, beauty, and style, Margaret, Duchess of Argyll, dominated the front pages as the divorce exposed accusations of forgery, theft, violence, drug-taking, bribery, and an explicit Polaroid picture that was to haunt her for the rest of her life.
As her contemporaries, the press, and the judiciary sought to vilify her, Margaret kept her head held high with bravery and resilience, refusing to go quietly as she was betrayed by her friends and publicly shamed by a society that revelled in her fall from grace."
Starring Claire Foy as Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyll best known for her portrayal of the Queen in the Crown - in case you need reminding
Where to watch: BBC1 26 December.
