Actor and director Noel Clarke reflects on his career

Actor, writer, producer and director Noel Clarke on his latest project, the ITV drama Viewpoint, as well as his earlier roles from Kidulthood to Dr Who

Actor, writer and director Noel Clarke discusses his latest role in the new five-part ITV drama series Viewpoint, in which he plays a surveillance detective tracking the movements of the prime suspect in the disappearance of a young woman.

In the interview he looks back over a career which started with his breakthrough role in Kidulthood in 2006, which he wrote and starred in, and his further success in its sequels Adulthood and Brotherhood. His acting roles have included Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, as well as five years on Doctor Who. He's been back on our screens recently in the high-octane thriller Bulletproof with Ashley Walters.

Earlier this month Noel was awarded the BAFTA for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema 2021, and in his acceptance speech he chose to highlight the industry鈥檚 need to reflect a more diverse representation, both in front of, and behind, the camera.

NB: This programme was broadcast before any allegations about Noel Clarke's behaviour came to light.
