Anyone watching this? ITV face pressure to axe the last episode tonight because of the sexual harassment claims around the lead actor Noel Clarke. So should they go ahead and show the last episode? After all, viewers have committed their time to watching the series, and the other actors should be considered too. Or should they axe it because it's not appropriate? He hasn't been charged, so is this trial by media? My view is the former, to consider the viewers and other actors and not jump the gun as no charges have yet been made. Viewpoint Last Episode
I haven’t heard that the final episode will be on the itv hub, does anyone know if this is for tonight only? It’s not on there yet? I’m hoping to watch it.
I was asking myself whether I should watch the last episode this morning, even though he had not been prove guilty. It has been taken out of my hands now.

There’s an ITV press release which says it’ll be on the Hub tonight for a limited period of time ( which was unspecified).
Something similar happened to an actor in an Agatha Christie drama; it was re- filmed with a replacement actor, then after it was shown the actor was completely exonerated.
I watched a couple of the episodes of 'Viewpoint' and found it boring, but very annoying for it to be cancelled if you are following it, or even appearing in it. Too many unsubstantiated allegations are given too much credence; investigate before you pronounce judgement.
If we used the same rules for everything that is shown on TV then surely Prince Philip's funeral should have been taken off the air because Prince Andrew attended and he has been accused of alleged sex offences. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Oh dear, I have watched the past 4 evenings & was looking forward to the final one tonight. Thinking how it was better to see it in 5 days, rather than over 5 weeks.
I'm not very in tune with recognising actors (faces or names).
I was thinking that the character this man played was being led astray by the lady host..!! I must be dim......
He’s now going to seek professional help and educate himself. Have some of you who disbelieve what’s happened seen the videos of him behaving in a way that wouldn’t look out of place at a very raunchy hen night. Have you seen the photo he took of a couple having sex at the same hotel he was staying at. He posted it on Twitter.
That is the height of hypocrisy: removing an episode from mainstream television because of the actions (apparently) of its principal. yet making it available for privileged viewers via the Hub. And MerylStreep, is that the sort of thing you look at on Twitter?
Why so often on Gransnet, are allegations of harassment automatically disbelieved?
Allegations of harassment can be neither believed or disbelieved. They have to be shown to be true or untrue in a court of law. Not in the court of popular opinion!
