A Very British Scandal, now streaming on , let’s confront the elephant in the room. Or as British people would say (probably), “The Big Ben in the teapot.”A Very British Scandal is a three-part original series based on a real scandal that happened in the U.K.
in the 1960s and stars Claire Foy as millionaire It Girl Margaret Campbell and Paul Bettany as Ian Campbell, the Duke of Argyll, Scotland. The Duke and Duchess of Argyll had what is the “most notorious divorce case in English legal history.”The real Margaret Campbell was accused in court of infidelities with more than 80 men and as a “highly sexed woman who has ceased to be satisfied with normal sexual activities,” and her case is now seen by many as an example of .
The series, which traces the couple’s relationship from meet-uncute to marriage to court, aims in some ways to reclaim her legacy but seems to have more fun with the sordid details. (At one point we watch as a doctor performs a court-ordered examination of the Duke’s pubic hair to see if it matches that of a man pictured in nudes with Margaret.) The indulgences shown on screen are a little nauseating—still, it is fun to see a woman having a good time being so bad.This content can also be viewed on the site it from.Written by Sarah Phelps and directed by Anne Sewitsky, the characters speak in a way that is certainly very British.
They look and sound a little like ventriloquists, barely opening their mouths. When they do, it’s only wide enough for a few things: dry wit, drinks, and, as another character says, “canapes and cock.” The Campbells were famous for their divorce, but before that they had a lot of fun.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorAmazon Prime’s three-part series “A Very British Scandal” dramatizes one of the most scandalous divorce cases in British history, between the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, in which the Duke (Ian, played by Paul Bettany) accuses Margaret (Claire Foy) of sleeping with more than 88 other men during their marriage.Judge Lord Wheatley, who presided over the case, blasted her as “a completely promiscuous woman” whose attitude towards marriage was “wholly immoral.”Writer and creator Sarah Phelps says she was sensitive to the fact she was penning a script about real people who had living relatives that she took into consideration. “There are strict laws about how to represent people and what impact it’s going to have on their living relatives,“ Phelps says.
When a judge finally granted the divorce of the Duke and Duchess of Argyll in 1963, he famously delivered a blistering three-hour and seven-minute rebuke of Duchess Margaret Campbell, disguised as a judgment, where he branded her a “completely promiscuous woman.” The divorce case was filled with accusations by her husband, Ian Campbell, the Duke, of flagrant adultrey, titilating rumors about sexual liaisons coded in her diaries, and much discussion about a scandalous Polaroid photograph of Margaret in an intimate act with someone other than her husband. The case left Margaret vilified by the press in a pre-sexual revolution Britain and branded the “Dirty Duchess,” while her former husband, who was also accused of adultrey, escaped similar criticism.

new film being shut down for an investigation into his alleged “inappropriate behavior” is taking on a darker tone amid a resurfaced on-set horror story that’s kept Hollywood whispering for decades.Disney was allegedly forced to hire bodyguards to protect the cast and crew of 1991’s “What About Bob?” after the actor hurled a glass ashtray at co-star Richard Dreyfuss and threatened to “throw” the film’s female producer “across a parking lot.”The bombshell accusation was dropped Thursday night by Dreyfuss’ son, Ben, just hours after Murray’s latest movie, “Being Mortal,” was suspended following a complaint about his conduct. Despite his enduring status as a beloved Hollywood bad boy, Murray has repeatedly been accused of violently clashing with co-stars — from alleged head-butting to “inexcusable and unacceptable” language — on numerous sets stretching all the way back to the 1970s. After this week’s new Murray mayhem, Ben, 35, took to Twitter to reveal that professional muscle had to be deployed to the Virginia set of the cult classic “What About Bob?” following Murray’s alleged violent outburst.
A Very British Scandal” premieres Friday on Amazon Prime, it will be the first time that most Americans learn all about Margaret, the Duchess of Argyll; her husband Ian Campbell, the Duke of Argyll — and the ill-fated string of pearls that proved to be her downfall during their bitter and lascivious divorce battle.The duchess was the Kim Kardashian of her day, a socialite photographed every time she stepped out on the town and famed for a string of affairs.But it all came crashing down when Campbell used photos he had stolen of his wife “in flagrante” with another man to shame her in court during their 1962 divorce. It worked, with Judge Lord Wheatley blasting her as “a completely promiscuous woman” whose attitude towards marriage was “wholly immoral.”The judge, a highly conservative Jesuit and a relative of Campbell, added: “I consider her to be a highly sexed woman who had ceased to be satisfied with normal relations and had started to indulge in disgusting sexual activities to gratify a debase sexual appetite.”As The New York Times reported at the time, the photos “reportedly showed a naked man gratifying himself and pictured [the duchess], dressed in nothing but three strands of pearls, performing a sex act on a naked man in the mirrored gilt and silver bathroom of her Mayfair apartment.”“Margaret really invented the tabloid scandal, which now is such a huge industry,” show writer Sarah Phelps told The Post.
