The Trial of Christine Keeler: all the big questions we have after episode 3

It certainly seems in this week’s episode that Christine’s dream of “escaping to London to find my fortune” is set to turn into a nightmare.The Daily Mirror

Profumo follows that failed bid to stop the story by going to his lawyer, and asking him to arrange to pay Christine off. After discussions, Christine agrees to a sum of £5,000 to keep quiet, but at a meeting, Profumo’s lawyer only pays £500. Upset, Christine calls her friend and “manager” Paul Mann and the pair head to Alicante, meaning Christine misses testifying in Johnny’s trial. The judge goes ahead anyway, even though Christine, who is the key witness, has failed to turn up. Even without her evidence, Johnny is found guilty on multiple counts, and is jailed for seven years.What are the political class doing about Profumo?

The Labour opposition see an opportunity, and MPs George Wigg and Barbara Castle ask questions in the House of Commons about the rumours. Profumo says he and Valerie first met Chrstine at a house party in July 1961 at Cliveden House, where they also saw Stephen and Ivanov.
