NEWS BRIEF: UK commercial broadcaster ITV has commissioned a two-part documentary examining how former national treasure Rolf Harris betrayed the trust of the nation and hid in plain sight whilst sexually abusing children and young women for years.

Made by All3Media-owned Optomen, Rolf Harris: Hiding in Plain Sight (w/t, 2×60’) will speak to Harris’s victims, the police who investigated him and colleagues who worked alongside him to tell the story of his rise and fall. It was commissioned for ITV and soon-to-launch streamer ITVX by Kate Teckman, commissioner and head of development for factual entertainment.
