David Walliams faces scrutiny following the release of a documentary titled Power and Silence on ITVX. The project presents the findings of a three-year joint investigation by ITV and the Guardian into claims made by multiple women regarding the comedian’s behaviour.
“It is a meticulous hour detailing a meticulous investigation. It is only left to hope that it brings about equally meticulous change,” Lucy Mangan wrote for the Guardian.
Cynthia Erivo takes on the role of a defense lawyer whose career intersects with personal experience in the screen adaptation of Suzie Miller’s stage hit Prima Facie. Daniel Ings co-stars in the feature.
Diane Morgan reprises her role as the hapless interviewer Philomena Cunk in Cunk on Cinema, streaming now on BBC iPlayer. The special provides an unofficial look at the history of Hollywood.
“If, like me, consider writing stupid jokes to be another of humanity’s greatest achievements, you’ll have no choice but to consider Cunk on Cinema a true work of art,” Rachel Aroesti wrote for the Guardian.
