Innocent until proven otherwise, is all i will say

Disappointing, I really like him.

...I read this yesterday, I’m not familiar with him as an actor....I’ll follow the story but it doesn’t look great with 20 accusations...

he was in Dr Who during the Rose Tyler era, that's what I know him from. I feel there is way to much judgement going on these days before it goes through the legal process. It's turning to a situation where someone is guilty until proven innocent which I'm not comfortable with at all. Maybe the guy is a complete arse ... i don't know, but would prefer the courts decide it rather than media

Yes loads are anonymous
is this a real case?
Or is the Guardian making a mess of this?

He is every night at 9PM
on the thriller "Viewpoint" ITV1HD

Is this a real case?
It's not that clear.

Hard to say - it's not just "a" case, but twenty...

I can't read the Mail article because I'm not disabling AdBlock for them lol, so I'll wait for more details.

You mean that time he bumped into me in London West End he was actually trying to cop a feel? :worry:

His Recent Bafta Award has been Suspended

But
many are anonymous?

Don't recognise him either

Even with Doctor Who put aside I'm surprised by how little he's known. To be fair though I'm quite into "indie" and smaller creator stuff, and he's been a big contributor toward that kind of thing.

20 different women are unlikely to all be liars.

And many are not arista.

[Bafta has suspended award-winning British director
Noel Clarke's membership after 20 women accused him
of sexual harassment, groping and
bullying between 2004 and 2019 as a lewd video of the
star emerged using a microphone as a phallus
on stage during a Doctor Who event.
The academy said in a statement it had also
suspended his outstanding British contribution
to cinema award, which he was handed earlier
this month at the Royal Albert Hall, until further notice.

Are they referring to the time he was describing how John Barrowman kept whipping his todge out on the set of Doctor Who?

He gets out of his chair
then his dancing body close to a
actress seated

[Jahannah James recalls Clarke had talked
her into auditioning for the role.
She had been hesitant.
She was only 23 and fresh out of drama school.
But Clarke persuaded her, explaining that
the naked audition wouldn’t
be filmed; an email from her agent confirmed this agreement.
“I was told 100% it was not going
to be on camera,” James says. As she understood it,
the naked audition was purely to check she
could do the scene and wasn’t going to “bottle it” on the day.

The audition was mortifying, James recalls,
and afterwards she pulled out of the running for the role;
she didn’t want one of her first acting
jobs to be nude.
The Guardian spoke to two friends of
Powell and James who were also present
in the pub that day and recalled
the emotional exchange. “I was so upset,”
James recalls. “Now, years later, I still cry when I talk about it.”

Clarke denies ever covertly filming naked auditions
or sharing such footage with Powell.
A casting director who was present
at James’s audition said there
was “absolutely no way” Clarke would have
covertly filmed it, even without her knowledge.
“He’s always been a good guy,” she said.]

Always thought he was arrogant and his 'talents' were vastly overrated (like, the Kidulthood movies are good, but not great), so I can't say I'd be too upset if these allegations are indeed true.

Kick him
while he is down.............

Its getting Worse

Comcast/NBC who own SkyTV UK
have stated they will no longer use him in their Productions.


He was due to work on Bullet Proof, another series for Sky

never heard of him

Again on tonight the Final episode
all week 9PM ITV1HD

They better not pull the final episode

/ have an opinion on an actor/director

Bafta’s baffling decision to honor Noel Clarke is its biggest blunder yet
 

the laundering of aspiration into consent...

There is an obvious explanation for Bafta’s determination to give Clarke this specific award at this specific moment in time: he is a useful case study. A young black man of humble origins who makes a space for himself in a predominantly white, middle-class industry, becoming a writer, director and leading man through sheer determination and persistence? That’s a pat on the back for all of us; reassuring proof that things aren’t so bad.

Yes with The Guardian Team
attacking him,
I assume he goes Front Page many others, tomorrow


I want Noel to make a Public Statement

As long as ITV do not pull the Final episode tonight

Sky TV has "halted" its work with actor Noel Clarke after allegations of sexual harassment were made against him by a number of women.

Clarke has starred in Sky's crime drama Bulletproof, which had a fourth series commissioned in January.

"Effective immediately, we have halted Noel Clarke's involvement in any future Sky productions," the broadcaster said.

The Kidulthood and Doctor Who star, 45, has said he "vehemently" denies "any sexual misconduct or wrongdoing".

In a statement on Thursday, he said he intended to "defend myself against these false allegations".

The Guardian newspaper reported allegations from 20 women, all of whom knew Clarke in a professional capacity.

Top Actor Ashley Waters knows him well
He has co-starred with him
in many projects.

Terrible News
the Final of Viewpoint was at 9PM tonight ITV1HD
as he plays a Cop. [Surveillance Detective]
Other Great Actors are in it.

ITV the buggers
have said they will not show it.

[Noel Clarke: Co-star Ashley Walters 'deeply saddened'
by harassment claims but
'cannot stand by and ignore allegations']

https://news.sky.com/story/sky-halts...laims-12291076

Ashley Walters has his own murky history.

Of course
but he does not have Guardian
chasing him.

ITV added it would make the finale available on ITV Hub on Friday night for a limited time "for any viewers who wish to seek it out, and watch its conclusion".

I thought I didn't know him, but we have been watching View point

It's a shame the last episode ain't being shown, it's good. Plenty of reruns have "problematic" people.

I normally assume anything with Noel Clarke in is something he's written and/or directed, he's that kind of guy, so I was surprised that he wasn't involved in its creation. But that just means all the hard work everyone involved in the show is being thrown away...
