Channel 5 is bringing a bold new two-part drama to its line-up, shining a spotlight on the dramatic fall of Huw Edwards, the once-respected BBC newsreader.
The upcoming series promises an unflinching look at Huw’s turbulent double life, culminating in his public exit after being convicted of serious child sexual offences.
Martin Clunes takes on the headline role, giving his take on the disgraced broadcaster.

The drama has secured a supporting cast that includes Chanel Cresswell as Sun journalist Scarlet Howes, Clare Calbraith as editor Victoria Newton and Ben Bishop as news editor Ben O’Driscoll.
Tapping into fresh interviews and benefitting from exclusive access to The Sun’s award-winning investigation, the series is said to explore both the high-profile story and its significant impact.
Channel 5 boss Ben Frow says the production reveals “how a man in a position of power and trust betrayed that status”.
Channel 5 has not announced an air date just yet. We’ll update when transmission details are confirmed.
