Norman Scott - The Story of Jeremy Thorpe

Peter Bessel never received any money from the Sunday Telegraph. He later wrote a book about the affair called cover-up, but no commercial publisher would touch it. Despite his acquittal, the Norman Scott case finished Jeremy Thorpe's career and public life. In 2019, actor Ben Wishall won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Norman in the TV drama series A Very English Scandal. The award was dedicated to him, calling him a true queer hero and icon.
