英伦性丑闻的剧情介绍,为了庆祝英国同志除罪化40年(意即将同志间私人的性行为不视为犯罪行为的《Wolfenden Report》,即《武芬登报告》,公开实施40年),英国电视台Channel 4特别开了一系列名为「Channel 4's gay season celebrating 40 years of legalisation of homosexuality」(简称《40 Years Out》)的特别节目,透过类戏剧丶电视电影和纪录片……等手法,为观众娓娓道来这40年来属于英国同志们的各式辛酸与欢笑。而打头阵的,则是以 1955年的Peter Wildeblood事件为核心的《A Very British Sex Scandal》,借由穿插访谈与旁白的仿纪录片手法,回顾对英国同志们而言最重要的关键时刻。
A Very British Sex Scandal tells the story of Peter Wildeblood, a royal correspondent for the Daily Mail newspaper. He is a closet homosexual and like many gay men at that time, lives in secret as homosexuality is against the law. One evening he meets Eddie McNally, who is on leave from the air force and the pair embark on an affair together. However, it is their weekend at the estate of Lord Edward Montagu which eventually leads to a scandal which rocked modern Britain and led to a reconsideration of, and the eventual decriminilisation of homosexuality.
