Malcolm and Barbara statement

The push for probity in broadcasting continues…

“Malcolm and Barbara: Love’s Farewell is a film which has been over 10 years in the making and addresses the most sensitive subject, both on a personal and public level. The film maker responsible, Paul Watson, has now confirmed that the film does not portray the moment of Malcolm’s passing, which was in fact some days later. This will be made clear at the end of the film on transmission and should have been made clear earlier.” - Statement of Simon Shaps, Director of Television, ITV
