Blueprint Pictures return after 2018’s acclaimed A Very English Scandal with a similarly titled miniseries for the BBC. Starring the Emmy Award-winning Claire Foy (The Crown) and BAFTA-nominated Paul Bettany (Avengers: Age of Ultron), it’s a lavish “ripped from the headlines” drama that focuses on the Duke and Duchess of Argyll’s highly publicised divorce. You won’t want to miss it, so keep reading below for how to watch A Very British Scandal online this Christmas for FREE.
This notorious true-life tale gets its debut on Boxing Day, December 26 at 9pm GMT on BBC One, or alternatively, you could watch it online live via BBC iPlayer.
The second two instalments are being made available as a boxset online immediately after, but if you'd still prefer to watch through traditional means – cable, satellite or Freeview – then catch the subsequent episodes the following two nights, on December 27 & 28 at the same time of 9pm GMT.
You’ll need a TV licence to watch whichever option you choose, with both 100% FREE to view.
BBC iPlayer is compatible with any of the following: desktop on Windows and Mac machines, on smartphone apps for Android and iOS, as well as media streaming devices like Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Chromecast, Roku and more. You can also get BBC iPlayer on PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
