Sure, lots the film is accurate. But the movie is clearly biased in favor of the mentally ill Norman Scott.
"For example, the series omits this very significant detail: He began to feel marginalised by Thorpe, and in December 1962, in a fit of depression, confided to a friend his intention to shoot the MP and commit suicide. The friend alerted the police, to whom Josiffe gave a detailed statement of his sexual relations with Thorpe, and produced letters to support his story. None of this evidence impressed the police sufficiently for them to take action, although a report on the matter was added to Thorpe's MI5 file."
So, Scott had threatened to shoot the MP...why is this omitted!
