Bad People x A Very British Scandal
Duchess Margaret of Argyll was slut-shamed during her infamous divorce in 1963. Dr Julia Shaw, Sofie Hagen and writer Sarah Phelps, discuss how society has changed since.
When Ian Campbell, the Duke of Argyll, tried to divorce his wife Margaret in 1963, things turned nasty. Margaret’s sexual history was dragged into the courtroom and she was slut-shamed by the judge. She lost nearly everything.
Dr Julia Shaw, comedian Sofie Hagen and writer of A Very British Scandal, Sarah Phelps, delve into the landmark case and reveal fascinating parts of the story that didn’t make the TV show.
Are we just as judgemental of the sexual history of others today?
Warning: This episode contains strong language, references to sex and descriptions of violence.
