Itv Viewpoint

[eve1974]

Hi anyone know from what time Viewpoint will be shown on ITV hub? I know ITV has cancelled it on its main channel after the allegations against noel Clarke....but I simply must see the finale !

[Chinajan]

Indeed

[bluemoon1]

The news broke on Tuesday or Wednesday why not cancel the broadcasts then?
Me thinks it's because they want you to sign up to the hub.

Jimmy S - about 50% were fraudulent gold diggers - the other 50% werent

Yeah I wondered about the speed of this - the fella has said he will have therapy
which indicates that when asked about the events he said - it wasnt like that
rather than - - - it didnt occur

[eve1974]

[Paigntonian]

Yeah, excellent twist at the end. Very good.

[Paigntonian]

I tried to watch it on itv hub last night, but struggled as I need subtitles and couldn’t get them to work. I tried on my Panasonic tv and also my Humax box but couldn’t work out how to do it. Could anyone help please?

[Ken4155]

Rather than cancel the last episode on the main channel, why couldn't they have aired it as planned and given the viewer the right to make a decision on whether or not to watch?

does this mean i'm going to have to surf the internet for a whiff of a scandal re the cast before i record a tv programme?

[Sqad]

I guessed the identity of the perpetrator half way through .

[Sqad]

Helly.......the subtitles don't work for the final episode.

[hellywelly4]

Thank you Sqad. I will have to wait until it’s on the usual channel then.

It'll depend on the TV, but on my remote (JVC), I've a "Lang(uage)" button. Pressed that, gave me "Audio Language" & "Subtitle Language" - selected "Subtitle", "English" - the programme froze for around a second, then came back with the subtitles.

[Lie-in King]

...and yes, I enjoyed the programme.

What a pathetically mealy-mouthed response from ITV.

Aside from the fact that the actor has not been convicted of anything at the time of writing, to take such a prissy parsh council moral decision to deny viewers their chance to watch the end of a drama, it does him no harm whatsoever, it simply punished innocent viewers who are denied the option to act like adults and decide for themsleve whether they choose to separate the actor from his craft or not.

Personally, I would have watched the episode for what it is - a conclusion to a drama, not, as ITV seem to be seeing it, a platform a disgraced actor - who isn't disgraced, and may not be.

But to hide the episode away as though to imply that only those who don't disaprove of the actor's alleged (and it is alleged) behaviour, can act in a shady-activity-in-a-dark-alley style in order to enjoy the remainder of a series they have invested time and enjoyment in.

What ITV is saying is - We don;t approve of you watching this, but if you must, go away and do it quietly, off our main network, where we can pretend it's not hapening, and embrace our holier-than-thou moral stance - even in the absence of any proven wrongdoing.

For ITV, it's arrogant, backward, high-handed, and morally indefensible to not only treat an innocent man as though he is already proven guilty, but to treat it's paying audience of adults as though they need their moral compasses to be steered for them.

Apalling behaviour.

I'm watching it now, I got all 5 from ITV hub. Is he the bloke there's all the publicity about, didn't realise.

[Patsy33]

Well said, Andy.
Will watch final episode on hub tonight.

[tamaris]

I missed it what happened in the final ?

[zebo]

They dragged it out too long, it could have been done in 3 episodes, the killer was obvious from the first episode!
