The Mandy Rice-Davies Tapes

Archive on 4

Available for over a year

Using recently unearthed recordings of the late model and singer Mandy Rice-Davies, and news archive, Kirsty Wark looks back at the The Profumo Affair of the early 1960s. This was the first British political sex scandal and it brought down the MacMillan Government. Along with Christine Keeler, teenager Mandy Rice-Davies was at the centre of this saga and, for the first time, we hear the whole story first hand from this woman who was in the eye of the storm and whose life changed completely overnight. A Soho Studios Entertainment and Two Rivers Media production for BBC Radio 4
