There's apparently a two-part documentary out about Rolf Harris on ITVX called "Rolf Harris: Hiding In Plain Sight".

The Guardian has given it a glowing review.

Rolf Harris: Hiding in Plain Sight review – the awful truth behind the abuse that shocked a nation

It apparently features, amongst other accusers, Karen Gardner, whose allegations did not result in a guilty verdict, and an Australian called Suzi Dent, a bad character witness in the first trial.

The brilliant Rolf Harris is Innocent site has a page about Karen Gardner.

Both Gardner and Dent appear to like publicity.

Suzi Dent's anonymous 'bad character' testimony helped send Rolf Harris to jail. Now she is speaking publicly.

Here are a some recent posts from Suzi Dent's Facebook page.

Meanwhile, no news outlet seems to have given William Merritt's book any attention and no British journalist appears to have interviewed William Merritt about his book. The only one to have done so seems to be an Australian journalist living in New Zealand.

Rolf Harris: The Defence Team’s Special Investigator reveals the Truth behind the Trials

Leighton Smith Podcast: Policeman William Merritt relates a story of incompetence, lies, and injustice

Yes Jo; shocking. The Guardian agenda this Century has been disgraceful but so has 99% of media.

Why the fuck does anyone want to read The Guardian or look at any other MSM?

I don't know who I find more disgusting, JK, the people who trash a person's life by lying for money/kudos/publicity or the lazy journalists who go chasing after these stories and can't be bothered to read a book (that they wouldn't even need to pay for if they got it on Kindle). I e-mailed several newspapers when the book came out, including Private Eye and the Guardian's book review address, in the forlorn hope that someone might take an interest, but needless to say there was no response.

Reviews of TV programmes do tend to appear in newspapers, GM. There may be ones by random people on YouTube, but they're probably less influential and less likely to stick around on the internet for years/forever.

The other reviews all seem to be along the same lines.

There's a review in The Times (Rolf Harris: Hiding in Plain Sight review - anatomy of a narcissist who feels no shame) and a 3/5-star review in The Telegraph (Rolf Harris horror show reminds us to beware the 'social hypnotist') but they're behind a paywall.

The Evening Standard (Yahoo News carries the same article) gives three out of five stars, against the Guardian's four out of five. Whoever wrote it seems to think that even claims that didn't result in a conviction were probably true.

Rolf Harris: Hiding in Plain Sight on ITV review – chilling documentary on a national disgrace

This punchy film doesn’t reveal much about Harris that isn’t now painfully known: it’s more of a recording of events. It’s spread over two hour-long episodes, and at the end of first there’s a caption revealing that Harris was acquitted after two juries failed to convict him of assaulting Gardner, and allegations made by a second talking head were not tried in court because they occurred outside the UK. The second part deals with how the net finally closed in.

Though it could probably have benefited from being tightly cut into 60 hard-hitting minutes, the documentary, produced by Lila Allen and Nick Hornby, starkly highlights the national disgrace that Harris hadn’t been questioned until it was too late. Never again should we be so trusting.
It's like maggots feeding on a corpse, except that Rolf Harris is still alive. When he does die, I expect there will be another feeding frenzy with them all wriggling in excitement at the thought of a celebrity whose professional success they could never hope to achieve abusing and molesting women and girls. It's hard not to wish bad karma on these people.

Ah Nick Hornby (not the talented one) - he did a terrible show on me 20 years ago too. Truly a maggot.

Reviews have and will always be opinion hit pieces.

I have no idea what Star Games was but how do you get a taxi around a park?

I can't remember every gig I have been to, you tend to forget about them after a few weeks unless it's your first. Or something extravagant happened.

I was supposed to have attended a Bros gig in very late 80's in Hammersmith Odeon. I have no memory of nor do I remember the screams from fans or taxi ride.

It was shown on an early Sky channel also. I must of been there I because have the stub and my sister's has her still. There be no way I would let them go alone, even if I didn't like the music.

I remember a Brotherhood of Man gig I went to. I wasn't going to refuse a free ticket at a venue which sold cheap booze. Then followed by a very dodgy takeaway.

If Vanessa Feltz was assaulted live on TV, where is the footage in the archives?

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/jul/06/...sa-feltz-rolf-harris

Coleen Nolan said she touched by Savile and got spat at by punk band which I believe was The Skids.

For what its worth, I think Mr Harris is guilty. I'm guessing that makes me in the minorty here, so be it. It seems that anyone who is accused and found guilty on this site is automatically presumed innocent because the are/ were famous.

Not at all but in most cases nearly all accused are guilty of far less crimes than eventually inflated - by police, prosecutors, media, courts and "victims".
And after reading the Merritt book, Angel, I'm surprised you're convinced of his guilt.

Was that the one when the smug scriptwriters got one of your false accusers to say, quote 'they were just a normal teenager when I met him, doing normal teenage stuff like hedgehopping'

At the time I knew nothing of your case but what had been reported at the time, but the inexplicable use of the word 'hedgehopping' in that context causes me to question it all immediately!

It's certainly not because Rolf Harris is famous or because I thought he was a dab hand with a paintbrush or seemed a nice guy on TV that I think he was convicted of crimes he didn't commit. I suggest you visit the Rolf Harris Is Innocent site and read William Merritt's book, Rolf Harris: The defence team's special investigator reveals the truth behind the trials, which is only 10 pounds or free on Kindle. And in case you think Rolf Harris paid him to write the book, William Merritt points out in this interview that this was not the case and that Rolf Harris didn't learn about the book until it was finished.

I believe he did some groping and tried to see how far he could go. I always found him to be a bore. People I know who have met him through hospitality always said he is 'arrogant and moody' and one person used the noun dickhead.

He's apparently joint CEO of Optomen Television, which, according to this ITV report and the Optomen website, produced the Rolf Harris documentary.

This might be his Twitter account, but it looks rather dead.

Rolf Harris has died. The BBC headline reads like something from a tabloid. Rolf Harris: Serial abuser and ex-entertainer dies aged 93

I wonder if the makers of the documentary somehow got wind of the fact that he was dying and decided to drop the documentary on the public when they did for maximum publicity.
