Huw Edwards sparks Ofcom investigation with complaint over Channel 5's film of his downfall

Ofcom has launched an investigation into the Channel 5 factual drama Power: The Downfall Of Huw Edwards following a complaint from the former BBC presenter. The feature-length film, broadcast in March, details how Edwards received a suspended jail sentence for possessing indecent images of children. While the production was rigorously researched, Edwards has requested a probe under the Broadcasting Code's fairness and privacy clauses to examine how his downfall was portrayed in the televised drama.
