It's 1895, and with the libel case brought against the Marquess of Queensbury having collapsed, Oscar Wilde is arrested and charged with committing acts of "gross indecency". With former lovers, hotel servants and chambermaids lining up to give evidence, and the evening papers, night after night, full of scandalous allegations, it's not looking promising at all.
In this second episode "his downfall and death" Keith explores Wilde's failings, his time in jail, and his final years.
