A social media pile-on upends a TV personality’s life in this comedy-drama written by Steven Moffat, the man behind Sherlock and, for many years, Doctor Who
“It is, I suppose, slightly off-piste for me. There are no Daleks and there are no mad detectives, but there is an old man ranting about new things because they’re recent,” he says, pointing at himself. “So it’s not completely out of my comfort zone.”is Douglas Bellowes, a British national TV treasure played by a real British national TV treasure in the form ofHugh Bonneville.
The cast of Douglas is Cancelled : Nick Mohammed, Ben Miles, Simon Russell Beale, Hugh Bonneville, Karen Gillan and Alex Kingston.“Had we done this as a play in 2017 then it would have seemed relevant then too. Had we done this in ancient Rome, television might have been a surprise to them, but they would have been aware of the phenomenon of what we call cancellations. We’ve called it ‘cancel culture’ relatively recently. But we’ve been doing it for years.
“Steven constantly surprises you with the twists and turns that it takes,” says Bonneville, “and the way that the pendulum of your sympathy swings from one direction to another and back again. And then, where does it settle?” Douglas, Bonneville points out, is no sneering bully or rampant egotist like some of the onscreen “talent” you read about.
