A documentary chronicling the experiences of disgraced actor Noel Clarke is in the works at Channel 4, Variety has confirmed. Sources indicate that a project in early development at the “It&#…

Sources indicate that a project in early development at the “It’s a Sin” broadcaster will look to explore the events surrounding Clarke in the last year, though it’s still unclear what the exact angle or treatment will be.: “Channel 4 has not commissioned the documentary. It is in the early stages of development and as part of this process, the production company has started approaching a number of potential participants.

In April 2021, multiple sexual misconduct allegations emerged against Clarke, a top actor in the U.K. best known for starring in shows such as “Doctor Who” and “Bulletproof” and the films “Kidulthood” and “Adulthood.

A number of women went to police with allegations against Clarke, but Scotland Yard hasn’t yet pursued a criminal investigation. Clarke has “vehemently” denied all the allegations made against him., and he was also booted from his production company, Unstoppable Film and TV. Clarke has kept a low profile in the last year — until it emerged that he was pitching a documentary about his so-called “cancellation.

Sources indicate that the film, which doesn’t yet have a title, will include a range of voices. A sizzle reel was also used to pitch the concept to senior Channel 4 programming executives, who are believed to be keeping an open mind about the film. News of the project has been kept relatively under wraps at the broadcaster, where only senior execs have been privy to its existence.

Clarke isn’t receiving any payment or a contributor’s fee for the documentary, and doesn’t have a financial stake in the project.

That's quite the misleading headline, given that your own article says that Channel 4 has not commissioned the documentary. So, if they haven't commissioned it, it's not in early development AT Channel 4, but it's in development & they're pitching it to Channel 4. Not the same.

If Clarke is the one pitching the doc, it should be an automatic non starter. I’m not sure what Ch 4 is thinking

Thought he got cancelled?
