Christine being grilled

Tonight on BBC 1 sees the start of an drama The Trial of Christine Keeler. It tells the true story of Christine Keeler whose affair with high ranking government minister John Profumo would cause a national crisis. The events had also formed the basis for the 1989 film Scandal starring Joanne Whalley as Keeler, Ian McKellan as Profumo and John Hurt as Keeler's friend Stephen Ward. To promote the film Hurt and Keeler herself went onto the Wogan chat show which as Terry Wogan was away at the time was being presented by Sue Lawley. In a rather combative interview Lawley asks very personal questions of Keeler who seems rather awkward answering them.
