After an investigation from Channel 4, this time it’s the BBC’s turn to profile disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of sexually assaulting 84 actresses and assistants.
Here’s everything you need to know about The Inside Story.
What’s it about?
While Channel 4’s show looked at Weinstein’s associations with the British film industry, this time it’s the lengths the producer allegedly went to cover up indiscretions that will be in focus.
Panorama will attempt to untangle the complex web of lawyers, journalists and private detectives reportedly on Weinstein’s pay roll who are said to have helped keep his secrets hidden.
What allegations have been made against Weinstein?
Since the scandal broke in October last year, disgraced Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been accused by 84 actresses and assistants of various incidences of sexual misconduct.
Actresses Asia Argento and Lysette Anthony have alleged that Weinstein raped them, while Lucia Evans, then an aspiring actress, has claimed he forced her to perform oral sex on him.
UK police are investigating 10 different accounts of sexual assault made against the former producer. Weinstein denies that any non-consensual sex took place.
When’s it on?
Weinstein: The Inside Story airs Thursday, March 1 at 9pm on BBC One.
