VIDEO: WHO KILLED THE PLAYBOY EARL?

When Anthony Ashley-Cooper, the 10th Earl of Shaftesbury, went missing from his luxury hotel in Cannes on 5 November 2004, it inspired a press frenzy that exposed a frothy mix of glamour, vice, drink, drugs and fallen aristocracy.

Who Killed the Playboy Earl? , part of the Cutting Edge strand, tells the extraordinary story of the Earl’s downfall: his transformation from the Eton-educated millionaire philanthropist, patron of the Owl Trust and heir to the great social reformer Lord Shaftesbury, into a leather trouser-wearing lothario with an appetite for young women.
