		Mr Thorpe withdrew from public life after he was acquitted of plotting to kill a former male model in 1979.
		Mr Thorpe, who suffers from Parkinson's Disease, continues to be active in the Devon constituency he once represented and is president of the North Devon Liberal Association, but has rarely ventured back into mainstream politics.

	OFF THE TELLY: Reviews/2002/When Jeremy Thorpe Met Norman Scott
		The downfall of Jeremy Thorpe is characterised by absurdity and convolution.
		Thorpe and the whole affair are forever associated with the 1970s, and any attempt to pick away at the story now, or indeed find closure (which Norman Scott appears hell bent on achieving) seems as much folly as a modern day attempt to track down a Texan bar.
		The programme concludes with a statement confirming that Thorpe declined to appear, but still we are left with little sense of the man himself, making it extremely difficult for the modern day viewer to appreciate Thorpe's charisma and panache, and therefore, how sensational his fall was to a 1970s voter.

		Thorpe however brought a youthful, dynamic element to the leadership that was much-needed.
		Though Thorpe was often upset that the press labelled his approach as all gimmicks with no substance, during one election he did a tour of the south coast by hovercraft; unfortunately the English weather limited the photo opportunities.
		Thorpe was married to Caroline Allpass, with whom he had one daughter, but Caroline was killed in a car crash just after the election in 1970.

		JEREMY THORPE: It's fair to say I wasn't surprised by it and what the, I suppose the surprise really is though, it's a generational issue.
		JEREMY THORPE: I suspect that the major concern that industry has is that when they do prosecute someone the penalties are extraordinarily low.
		JEREMY THORPE: It was only a suspended sentence, but if you look at the damages levels that people who are breaching copyright are subjected to, they don't actually represent the actual costs that they cause to the legitimate industries.

		Thorpe, having been introduced to Bloch by a trusted mutual friend, had failed to get his promise in writing, although there is no suggestion that Bloch was intending not to honour the agreement.
		Thorpe's friends, including Ludovic Kennedy, Simon Barrington-Ward (the former Bishop of Coventry) and judge John Baker, had also agreed to help, on the same understanding: no publication while Thorpe was alive.
		Thorpe was flattered by the meticulous Bloch's desire to write a painstaking historical biography and agreed to help while he was able.

		The occasion was the publication of a book of reminiscences by Jeremy Thorpe, the disgraced former leader of the Liberal Party, and the answer is 23 years almost to the day.
		After his aquittal Jeremy Thorpe's lawyer, the late Lord Goodman, announced that there was 'not a scintilla of truth in any of the allegations that have been aired'.
		In his own contribution to this puzzling history, Thorpe now asserts repeatedly in his book that he never had any doubt about the acquittal of all the defendants and does not intend 'to rake over the embers of the trial'.

		He is convinced that nearly everything, including the acquittal of Thorpe, was due to the existence of the Establishment.
		The `British Establishment', according to Freeman, had not been pleased by the marriage of Marion Stein (now Mrs Jeremy Thorpe) to Lord Harewood because she was `foreign, a commoner and, worst of all, half Jewish'.
		Thorpe apparently also incurred censure from `many Liberals' for celebrating his second marriage by holding a `Musical Evening' at Covent Garden and by sending out invitations `embossed with gold'.

		Except that at the time when Thorpe became an MP, even when he became party leader, the practice of homosexuality was illegal.
		I remember when Jeremy Thorpe was one of the wittiest, most colourful characters in British politics.
		Both are well-researched works, but the complexities of the case (which included Thorpe persuading Harold Wilson that the whole thing was a plot by the South African security services) and the sheer detail involved, may exhaust all but the most committed reader.
