What happens

National Treasure is a four-part 2016 British television drama by Channel 4, written by Jack Thorne. It stars Robbie Coltrane as Paul Finchley, a once successful comedian of the 1980s and early 1990s, now hosting a television quiz show. He is accused of raping several young women in the early 1990s. Julie Walters plays his wife Marie and Andrea Riseborough plays his daughter Dee. The drama is inspired by Operation Yewtree, a police operation that resulted in the prosecution of a number of veteran TV performers. At the 2017 British Academy Television Awards, the series won Best Mini-Series while Coltrane was nominated for Best Actor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
