Are the UK’s stringent libel laws preventing journalists from exposing predators in the UK media? Why are all pop stars seemingly non-stop? Why does Richard think of the Netflix adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club as his grandchild? Actor Noel Clarke has lost his libel case against Guardian over their sexual misconduct investigation. Richard and Marina discuss the fragile nature of investigative journalism, the shortcomings of British libel laws and if being famous still renders you 'untouchable'. At a star studded premiere in central London, the world finally got to see the film adaptation of Richard's book 'The Thursday Murder Club' - the pair chat about the economics behind getting a bestseller onto screens. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Rest Is Entertainment is proudly presented by Sky.
