EXCLUSIVE: Time’s Up UK, the charity born out of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and subsequent #MeToo movement, is exploring ways of improving accountability in the British television industry …
“The overwhelming majority of productions have really clear procedures, as do broadcasters, around anything that happens at the time. The difficulty is what happens in what I call the grey space, and the Noel Clarke allegations are a manifestation of this,” Rabbatts said.
Rabbatts said she is in talks with the BFI and BAFTA around creating a set of recommendations and hopes to be able to say more in the coming weeks. She added that Time’s Up UK is focused on ensuring broadcasters, streamers, and producers build trust and confidence in their processes so crew members feel able to make a complaint “as soon as an incident has happened.” Time’s Up UK is also planning to embark on a new education drive to ensure people are aware of codes of conduct.
She acknowledged that the TV industry has taken action against Clarke following The Guardian’s reporting on his alleged misconduct. Sky canceled Season 4 of Clarke’s drama, while he was also suspended from his production company, Unstoppable Film & Television, by backer All3Media. Clarke has denied wrongdoing., a comedy producer who was working on Ricky Gervais series. The streamer removed him from the show almost immediately and contacted the police.
Alex Pumfrey, the CEO of The Film & TV Charity, agreed that “we should be prepared for more allegations of this nature to come to light.” She added: “We know that misconduct is rife in the film and TV industry and we know that victims of sexual assault are understandably reluctant to report their experiences.
