Power: The Downfall of Huw Edwards (2026)

 

I didn't think for a moment a Channel 5 drama with Martin Clunes as Edwards would be so good, but this is a quality production from the company. Martin Clunes is quite superb as the vile Edwards, a skin crawling, powerful, deeply unsettling performance as the manipulative Edwards. Some critics have said this was released "too soon" (what to gloss over what is now known?) and it was "exploitative", exploiting who, the vile Edwards? How this retched man wasn't given prison time is beyond me, power and fame again "saving" him from time in the nonce wing and utter justice.

4.5/5
