Episode 1
Heiress Margaret Sweeny is in the midst of a divorce
... More when she meets the dashing (and married) Ian Campbell, future Duke of Argyll.LessSeason two of the British anthology drama (rebranded from season one's A Very English Scandal). The series focuses on Argyll v Argyll, the scandalous divorce of socialite Margaret Argyll – The Duchess of Argyll – in the 1960s.
"Famed for her charisma, beauty and style, Margaret (Claire Foy), Duchess of Argyll, dominated the front pages as a divorcee featuring accusations of forgery, theft, violence, drug-taking, secret recording, bribery and an explicit Polaroid picture all played out in the white-hot glare of the 1960s media." (Official synopsis)
LessA Very British Scandal, with its lean, mean script and its refusal to reinvent the duchess... is the very best and fairest tribute that could be given her.
Full reviewIt was evocative, it was beautiful and it got me thinking and kept me thinking. Yet after three hours, I still didn't really know what I was supposed to be thinking about.
