Russell Brand, David Walliams and the legacy of MeToo

13. november 2026 · 41m

This Friday we're joined by Jess Phillips MP, following a week that has sent shockwaves through the British entertainment industry. Two of the most recognisable faces in British television are at the centre of a reckoning: one has been jailed for rape, while the other faces a series of sexual misconduct allegations.

Has anything really changed since #MeToo? We discuss power, privilege and accountability, what these cases reveal about British culture, and whether the industry – and the institutions around it – have truly learned the lessons of the past.
