British Scandal

In a country obsessed with gossip, the great and the good fear one thing more than any other - scandal.

British scandals change the course of history. They bring down governments, overthrow the rich and cause the mighty to fall. Some are about sex, others about money. In the end, they’re all about power.

From the creators of Business Wars, American Scandal and Ghost Story, comes British Scandal.

Because sometimes the truth doesn’t set everyone free…
