In the 1920s and 30s, colonial Kenya was playground to a social clique of wealthy British expats called the "Happy Valley Set," famed for their excessive tastes and drug-fueled sex parties. One of the foremost members of the set, Josslyn Hay, Earl of Erroll, caused an international stir when he was found behind the wheel of his car with a bullet in his head.
This week, it's hot summer nights and high society gossip with the ritzy free-love crowd, as Sean lays out the tale of pre-war politics, jealous husbands, and the last days of the British empire that would ultimately lead to Hay's untimely (or at least, unceremonious) end.
