The cast of players includes the familiar louche doctor Stephen Ward, good-time girls Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies, and Secretary for War John Profumo himself. But we also encounter the tabloid hacks, property developers and hangers-on whose roles have, until now, never been fully revealed.</p><p>Sex, drugs, class, race, chequebook journalism and the criminal underworld the Profumo Affair had it all.
