About this episode
Breaking point as the college dons question Martyn Percy’s mental capacity.
He accuses them of smear campaigns, and an ill-judged essay likening his plight to Nazi persecution triggers outrage.
Costs soar, reputations crumble, and the University of Oxford itself is forced to intervene.
After four long years, a deal is struck. But at what cost?
Host: Andrew Billen, feature writer, The Times.
