But Margaret had herself already tarnished the royal image. When she returned from Mustique in 1976 she was in disgrace because she had been exposed by the press with a lover 17 years her junior. It was she who was the first member of the house of windsor to divorce. She who was the first to be publicly criticized. Margaret has a...

A documentary based on the life of John Bindon, real-life London villain who took on acting roles after Ken Loach cast him as a crook in the film 'Poor Cow'. Thereafter he generally played variations on the same theme. Contributors include girl-friend actress Vicki Hodge,who was shocked by some of the things in which he involved her, 'geezer' actors George Sewell and Billy Murray and David Bowie's first wife,Angie,who was taken by his party trick - hanging several pint mugs off his member. Presumably this also appealed to Princess Margaret,with whom he stayed on Mustique,though her nervous staff kept quiet about his criminal connections. After being acquitted of murder Bindon died of AIDS at the age of fifty.
