The Earl & The Escort

This documentary unravels the bizarre stories surrounding the murder of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 10th Earl of Shaftesbury, and one of Britain's wealthiest men. The story is one of the biggest falls from grace the British aristocracy ever recorded, featuring the first interview with the woman convicted of aiding and abetting the Earl’s murder. The Earl of Shaftesbury was the scion of an historic family whose assets included grand properties in the UK and France, a 9000-acre estate and works of art worth tens of millions of pounds. He split his time between the ancestral family home in Dorset and the French Riviera where he enjoyed a hedonistic lifestyle of drink, drugs and sex with women, all funded by his multi-million-pound inheritance.
