Legend. Father. Liar? The BAFTA award-winning drama National Treasure is a bold and poignant look at the disturbing prevalence of sexual abuse at the hands of privileged public figures, examining the impact that historic abuse charges have on those sitting on both sides of the courtroom. Told from multiple perspectives, it offers an insightful look at the fall from grace of an enduringly popular public figure with a hidden murky past.
Paul (Robbie Coltrane – Cracker) was once a British national treasure as part of a successful comedy double-act. Now a fading star settling into retirement, an allegation of sexual assault that took place 20 years before shakes him and his family to their core. Written by Jack Thorne (His Dark Materials) National Treasure is a multi-award winning drama series with an A-list cast including Julie Walters, Tim McInnerny and Andrea Riseborough. It won a BAFTA for Best Mini Series and Coltrane took home a Royal Television Society Best Actor award for his leading role.
