Can just about remember the Profumo affair so was interested to see how it was treated.
Think the story is accurate as I remember it and showing it from Keeler's perspective gives some insights into its twists and turns.
On the downside, the constant flashbacks add little to the narrative other than confusion and James Norton is unbelievably wooden as Stephen Ward.
Just seen episode 5 and I would modify my view on James Norton's performance during the trial. Still think he was poor up to that point but redeems himself in this episode.
By contrast, Sophie Cookson is both totally believable and looks remarkably like the eponymous character.
His constant repetition of "little baby!" when speaking to Christine is grating and, probably, out of character even for early sixties vernacular.
Could have been much better....
