Douglas is Cancelled tells the story of a UK 'national treasure' news presenter who is left fighting to save his career after being accused on X of making a sexist joke at a wedding.
A guessing game began today over which real-life star inspired a new ITV cancel culture comedy after its writer Steven Moffat refused to reveal their identity.
The four-part series delves into Bellowe's relationship with Madeline Crow - his younger, more dynamic colleague portrayed by Karen Gillan - and how it changes after news of his alleged wrongdoing first emerges. Referring to the real-life character who inspired the comedy drama, Moffatt told the Royal Television Society Magazine: 'It's not the main part of the plot, but he was caught misbehaving and thought it might come up in an interview, so he had to have a rehearsal interview with a junior colleague.
'But cancellation only works on people who are capable of shame and wish to be well thought of. In other words, it only really works on quite good people.
