A Very English Scandal Yet Again

[naomi24]

I've only watched a little of this, but who was the other politician Thorpe was talking to when he suggested murder?

Peter Bessell?
Bessell had been helping manage Scott but when Thorpe started talking about bumping him off Bessell realised things were going a bit far

Many thanks, Ichkeria. I've never heard of him but google brought this up.

One thing is certain Naomi: if a writer with a fertile imagination had written a book using this plot, it would probably have been critically panned as outrageous. And that’s ignoring the Dennis Meighan angle:

Or Bex Bissell if you prefer Peter Cook's take on matters as shown here

What a brilliantly funny 7.32mins QM. Thank you.

Ah, comedians...they don't make 'em like that any more, do they LB?

[ladybirder]

I think PC was one of a kind QM:-)
