The downfall of disgraced BBC News presenter Huw Edwards is to be explored in a new drama for 5, the broadcaster formerly known as Channel 5.

In the two-part series, Bafta winner Martin Clunes will play the former news anchor, who was given a suspended prison sentence in 2024 after pleading guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children.

A first-look image from the show, tentatively titled Power: The Downfall Of Huw Edwards, depicts the Doc Martin actor in character as Edwards, in a recreation of the BBC News studio.
