Five studies in talent and perversity
2: Bishop Charles Webster Leadbeater
Once an immensely influential cult figure in theosophy but now largely forgotten, Leadbeater started life as an Anglican curate but much later on appointed himself bishop in a small schismatic church. To some he was a gifted seer and clairvoyant; to others a charlatan, a manipulator, an irrepressible fantasist and an incorrigible pederast.
David Wade investigates the truth behind this charismatic but dishonest figure, with the help of those who knew him well: Mary Lutyens , Irene Silber and Dr Hugh Gray of the Theosophical Society.
Also taking part NIGEL ANTHONY NIGEL GRAHAM , CHRISTINE MACKIE Producer GRAHAM TAYAR
