CGiii Comment
Peter Wildeblood, an unsung hero - so, let his song be sung from every corner of the globe. A man who stood up and shouted...
Both he and Alan Turing should be honoured and remembered without reserve.
This docu-drama is testament to the time - a very dark time in British contemporary history - Lord Montagu makes an appearance throwing some light on the period.
Patrick Reams should be very proud of this film - it is both enchanting and enlightening.

A Very British Sex Scandal tells the story of Peter Wildeblood, a royal correspondent for the Daily Mail newspaper. He is a closet homosexual and like many gay men at that time, lives in secret as homosexuality is against the law. One evening he meets Eddie McNally, who is on leave from the air force and the pair embark on an affair together. However, it is their weekend at the estate of Lord Edward Montagu which eventually leads to a scandal which rocked modern Britain and led to a reconsideration of, and the eventual decriminilisation of homosexuality.
