In a country obsessed with gossip, the great and the good fear one thing more than any other - scandal.

British scandals change the course of history. They bring down governments, overthrow the rich and cause the mighty to fall. Some are about sex, others about money. In the end, they’re all about power.

But often at the heart of a scandal, there are ordinary human stories. Stories of those caught up in the swirl of outrage.

Who was really to blame for what happened? Why did they do it? And when all is said and done, did anything really change?

From the creators of Business Wars, American Scandal and Ghost Story, comes British Scandal. Each week, hosts Alice Levine and Matt Forde delve into the murkier side of the British elite, from Phone Hacking to Profumo to the short-lived premiership of Liz Truss. Because sometimes the truth doesn’t set everyone free...

Comedians, Lee and Neil, hilariously dissect the nonsense that people write about on Neil's village Facebook page.

Neil lives in a rural and fairly affluent village, but things are changing. What was once the epitome of a traditional, English countryside, idyll has gone to the dogs. If things keep going the way they are, then the village might just descend into the depths of hell. How long can the residents put up with this lawless society? I'll tell you. Not for much longer, and if they heard what Lee had to say about them, it might just tip them over the edge.

Are you ready to venture into the shadows? Dirty Deeds unravels the hidden stories of the fraud and deceit behind some of the biggest international scandals in recent years, told by the investigative journalists who uncovered them.

Ballet demands absolute sacrifice. Dancers push the limits of the human mind and body in the relentless pursuit of perfection.

For journalist Nicky Anderson, a childhood love for ballet has become a lifelong fascination, a fascination that has always drawn her back to one place: the New York City Ballet.

Home to some of the greatest works of the modern age, its legacy was shaped by the genius of its founder, the so-called father of American ballet, George Balanchine.

But behind the beauty lies a more complicated truth. Across its 76-year history, the New York City Ballet has faced allegations of power misuse, a major lawsuit, and an investigation into sexual harassment and physical and verbal abuse by a former Ballet Master-in-Chief.

Yet, the real story isn’t in the headlines. It’s in the voices of those who were there, the dancers who lived it.

You see, this isn’t just a story about ballet. It’s about devotion, ambition, and the cost of surrendering yourself entirely to something.

It’s about the people who graced that famous stage - and what became of them.

From Stak, this is Season Three of the award-winning Legacy: Dancing with Shadows. Extraordinary sporting stories that really matter.
