Warning: this project is no way meant for children, granted you don't see anything under age; but the implications and verbal references are there, so there are mature themes, drugs, mental abuse, adult self gratification, mental institution and references to under age, sex offender and suicide

The fall of: briefly; this project is about Huw Edwards [Martin Clunes:] once highly respected BBC News report now highly disgraced

Generally speaking: even though this project is based on real-life events; it does feel like we are having to squeeze everything in so yes now and again we get dates and so on, other times I am like where the hell are we? Including going full circle  at some point as well, So the script could have done with some work especially with later on in this content you will find out that we don't spend too much time on the downfall, consequently the framework and pacing of this may be 80 minutes project [as I watched this off TV; which was roughly 118 minutes I have included advertising] is at best after everything has been considered okay

Character developments, performances and comedy; predominantly the character developments were based on real-life events so they were all good versions of what they are meant to be but Clunes; as Edwards puts in a masterful performance, what with his perfect impression of mannerisms and voice pattern, he also puts across which is absolutely crucial here, what kind of monster Edward was and Clunes should hopefully win some at minimum positive award nominees for this performance and I will even though one more step and I will add an additional mark based off this performance. Now towards the end of this project we have this dark comedy scene; where we have Edwards/Clunes reading off this teleprompter to what he yet he received as a punishment for these criminal acts; now straight off the bat I need to highlight that this sequence is done with impeccable seriousness as he lists off what was found and woe for the consequences, but if you can read between the lines/subtext of that fine line between seriousness which is, but also this very, very fine pinch of dark comedy in this monologue to subtly imply seriousness, but " Yes remaining impartial, but we know it was a joke of a punishment." So even though we all know this was a serious situation, don't feel too bad if or when you come to this scene and you end up laughing a little, because as I have just shown, it is saying more than what you think; in a nutshell it comes off slightly passive aggressively, but what can I say I really like how they cover up this subtext with Edwards coming across as just doing his job as usual; this monologue is excellently written and performed.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; like I have been indicating I can only give high praise to Clunes and the well timed dark comedy interpretation, but in all seriousness; the time jumps, about 20 minutes covering the downfall section and yet again I am sitting here wondering how Edwards is not in any prison cell is beyond me, because in a nutshell; if we are now having people being put in prison for what they say on social media, which by comparison is absolutely nothing compared to what Edwards did [just for the record; I am not condoning what people say on social media,] I am just obviously saying by comparison there is no comparison Edwards should be spending years upon years in prison and without is fat BBC pension as well, without giving too much away but it is a fair point or points nonetheless; but if you are expecting this project to give you answers unfortunately it won't do that, it will only give you more questions; like how did Edwards get into this lifestyle, I know he makes reference to it in some capacity but I am talking about online, I know I have said this already; but why is he not in prison and what is he doing now?
