1: James & John
In this episode MP Chris Bryant begins the three part story of James and John, the last two men in Britain to be hung for the crime of sodomy. It’s the summer of 1835 and the two men, both servants to wealthy clients, meet in William Bonell’s rooms in South London. But someone’s looking in on them and 19th-century Britain’s unique obsession with homosexuality will leave a dark and terrible stain on our nation’s legal history.
