What if instead of being on the brink of disaster, we’re on the cusp of a better world? No one can deny the challenges the world faces, from pandemics to climate change to authoritarianism.

At the start of a themed week this is one of the most celebrated imperial scandals of them all - the riotous misbehaviour of a wealthy expatriate community living in colonial Kenya which leads to a famous - and famously unsolved - murder in 1941. Later this week we get more political with a look at the famous ’Suez crisis’ of 1956.
In the so-called ‘Happy Valley case’ Sir Henry “Jock” Delves Broughton was tried for the murder of Josslyn Hay, 22nd Earl of Erroll, a notorious ‘rake’, in the language of the time, who had been having an open love affair with Sir Henry’s wife, Lady Diana Broughton. Within the infamously promiscuous Happy Valley set it was widely believed that Sir Henry was relaxed about his wife’s relationship - but was he? He was acquitted in a court case that many felt bad flawed - so who else might have pulled the trigger that fatal night?
Author James Fox joins Andrew and Phil to discuss the case. James wrote the definitive book ‘White Mischief’ which was later made into a successful movie.
You can buy ‘White Mischief’ and books from the other authors we feature here in our own Scandal Mongers bookshop - along with thousands more.
