'Viewpoint' on ITV and Noel Clarke

I think they should show it. I am more interest in justice being served than a TV show being cancelled. I think this is going to run and run. I suspect it was hell in earth to be a woman on DrWho.

Definitely show it. He is innocent until proved otherwise.

Same for Boris then. ?

Yet another person who is publicly accused and named by the media, by, so far, unknown women.

It’s about time that anonymity is the norm for both sides and not just the accusers.

As vickyspongesays innocent until proven guilty

I don't think there is much pressure being applied to ITV to cancel, just a few commentators on Twitter. I think ITV will think it makes more commercial sense to show the final episode.
The Daily Mail do like to exaggerate things like this.

He has been removed from BAFTA Sky have halted all filming and another production company has removed him from all productions.

None of this information is from the Daily Mail.

He has been unofficially tried and found guilty already.

Absolutely! ?

Those poor women. From his own words it sounds horrendous. Not just him either from his own words.

Yes , same for him to

This trial by media has got to stop. Allegations are not enough to condemn anyone, as we've seen so often in the past. It should be illegal to name anyone before the Police have charged them. I know they like to encourage other victims to come forward, but it's just possible the one accused is a victim of malicious accusers. It is not worth the risk if it ruins an innocent man's life.

He calls his wife vagina at home.

Hmm so this chap is the victim of 20, yes 20, malicious accusers?

Personally I think they should show it and my guess is they will. The issue about innocent until proven guilty does not mean that people carry on as normal until so proven - should policemen, doctors, teachers, social workers accused of inappropriate behaviour be allowed to work normally in the interim? The investigation is not based on tittle tattle and publication was cleared by the paper’s lawyers.

Christopher Ecclestone left dr who after one series due to toxic work environment.

He isn’t a Policeman, Teacher, Doctor or Social Worker though is he?

He stands up, dressed up and recites words that others have written for him.

It may well all be true, but he should have remained anonymous.

That’s true but he is in a very powerful position vis a vis the people he is working with and he does far more than dress up and recite words. Having read the full investigation would you be content for example for your 16 year old dgd to do work experience on a production he was involved in? There’s such a thing as safeguarding and duty of care across all working environments you know.

Couldn’t agree more. Well said!

The problem with anonymity when you are a public figure of some kind is very difficult. I’m not saying that's right just that it’s difficult. I don’t know why he was named.

I never said he was a victim. But others are, and it's one law for everyone so that would include him.

Can you explain how you would have managed the risk of the safety of young women working with him in the interim?

I do think in this particular case it would have been difficult to keep his identity hidden until he was charged because there are so many other people involved. Not only the many accusers but everyone else he worked with, or is working with. I feel it's very wrong to have trial by media but in this day and age it can in some cases be hard to avoid.

Yes, look what happened to Cliff Ritchard. It nearly finished him off and he was completely innocent.

ITV are not going to BBC show the last ep of Viewpoint.

ITV have now cancelled the last episode, not surprising.
