Channel 4 to make Operation Yewtree drama about household name accused of historic sex offences
National Treasure will be penned by This Is England co-writer Paul Thorne and is inspired by the downfall of shamed stars Jimmy Savile, Rolf Harris and Stuart Hall
In recent years we’ve been bombarded with revelations about the historic sex offences of people in the public eye and the lives that they’ve destroyed.
“This fictional drama explores the emotional impact on both a family that finds itself in the eye of such a media story, and on the accuser.”
It will be penned by This Is England co-writer Paul Thorne (?)
I looked him up. Paul Thorne is a comedian. Not the same guy as Jack Thorne
this is nudging by the media – from newspaper thro TV ‘programme’
an attempt to manipulate public perception
thro obfuscation and confused messages, so that people
feel sorry for celebs – forget about current politicians
and the survivor/victim becomes the baddie
It shows they’re desperate doesn’t it?
