Toffs & Crims

S01E04

The Real Pink Panther

The final film in Channel 4’s Toffs and Crims series. It Girls Lady Victoria and Lady Isabella come under the spotlight today, and in the 90s it was their troubled half-brother John. But it can be argued that their father, Victor, was the most notorious Hervey of them all. Victor was expelled from Eton and kicked out of Sandhurst. A shameless self-publicist and fantasist, he was desperate to outshine his notorious relatives and soon cast himself in a new role, that of criminal mastermind extraordinaire. To this day the true extent of Victor’s criminal dealings will never be known.
