Have to say, I find the idea of naked auditions a bit weird

If there's going to be a nude scene in a film, I can understand you want the actor to be ok with it and not to discover they won't do the scene when you're halfway thorough filming. I didn't know that they went so far as to do naked auditions though (except for porn films, I guess).

Anyway, I think Noel Clarke's goose is cooked, given the number of people who have come forward.

It does sound as if his career is over.

Just shows how you can get things wrong, I'd always thought he was very personable and was a positive presence.

My partner on the other hand says he never trusted him even when he performed in Dr Who. I asked how he knew - he said it was a certain cocky attitude he had, which led to a discussion about how on earth can you tell that from an actors performance. It has proceeded to a full scale argument. So thank you for that Noel Clarke.

ITV's decision to not show the final episode of Viewpoint on terrestrial but show it on digital seems pathetic
