National Treasure, is a gripping and highly topical 4-part mini-series that follows Paul Finchley, an ageing, beloved comedian, a hero to TV audiences and peers alike after he is arrested following an allegation of rape dating back to the 90’s.
National Treasure goes behind the headlines to look at the human and emotional impact when the whole life of a family is called into question. It explores memory, truth, doubt, and how well we really know ourselves and those close to us.
