A gay affair, a bungled plot and a dead dog on Exmoor were the ingredients of what came to be dubbed "the trial of the century".
At its centre was Jeremy Thorpe - leader of the Liberal Party, a pillar of the establishment and the first British politician to be tried for conspiracy and incitement to murder.
Now, almost 40 years on from Thorpe's sensational acquittal, the story behind the case is being retold in a three-part BBC drama.
Bunnies, Rinka and pillow-biting - I remember it well .....
Just had a quick look and Grant is unrecognisable as Thorpe..He's lost a lot of weight for the part and the make-up's great...will give it a whirl to see if it catches My interest.
