Hello, Prime Members. You can listen to British scandal at free on Amazon Music. Download the app today.

Matt, what would you do if you were in the upper echelons of British society and you knew

a sex and security scandal had the potential to blow the establishment apart

and destroy the credibility of the government?

Well, we've all been there. I mean, I'd probably draw the curtains, order a pizza, a posh one

because I'd be in the upper echelons of British society and just hope it all goes away by the morning.

Great bee plan. A plan could be to just put all the blame on a shady osteopath slash sketch artist.

Oh, they're filled. Not in this story.

27th March 1963 Westminster.

In his office, Home Secretary Henry Brook invites his two visitors to take a seat.

Thank you for coming, gentlemen. I found myself with something of a dilemma. Brook pauses as he chooses his words.

Then he tells them at the centre of the problem is one man. Stephen Ward.

Brook turns to one of his visitors, M.I.5 Chief Roger Hollis.

Ward is the man who introduced Keela to profumum in the first place.

He's since been to see Legbars George Wigg and told outright lies about the pair's relationship.

He also claims to be an agent for M.I.5. He's not one of ours. I can assure you.

Well, on that alive, what about Ward's meetings with the mysterious handler Mr Woods?

All now denied by M.I.5 so they can steer clear of the profumum of her. Keep up Matthew.

Sorry, I can be a slow learner sometimes, but I feel there'll be people out there listening who go, I'm so glad he asked.

I'm here for you. Brook eyes Hollis with suspicion.

Keela has made her own claims to the press, backing the spy element.

She's been saying that Ward and Eve and Off wanted her to get information from profumum about nuclear warheads.
