National Treasure creator Jack Thorne discusses the Operation Yewtree-style drama in this week’s Talking TV. Thorne discusses the C4 drama, which stars Robbie Coltrane and Julie Walters, as well as his writing process, his early years working on series such as Skins and Shameless and explains how he is going to adapt Philip K Dick’s words for C4’s forthcoming Ron Moore-produced Electric Dreams.
