Spooks TV boss set for payout over breakdown caused by sex claim
The television boss behind Spooks and Law & Order: UK is in line for a payout after he suffered a mental breakdown over a sex harassment allegation.
Andrew Woodhead, the former managing director of Working Title TV, was suspended in 2019 after a writer levelled claims against him.
The female writer complained that Woodhead had 'taken advantage of his position' and told her lurid details of his private life that were 'unwelcome' and made her feel 'uncomfortable'.
She also accused the senior television executive of relating aspects of his sex life that she 'did not want to hear'.
Woodhead denied some of the conversations happened and said others were innocent discussions in private — but he did not return to work after being suspended.

Investigation launched after deportee breaks free on Heathrow runway
An inquiry is under way into how an immigration detainee who was being deported from the UK managed to free himself from restraints and started to run, close to the takeoff paths of planes at Heathrow airport. The man who was captured on film sprinting across the runway at Terminal 2 on Sunday evening was about to be deported to India but managed to break free from the guards holding on to his waist restraint belt while escorting him to the plane. A spokesperson for Mitie, which holds a Home Office contract for removing migrants from the UK, told the Guardian: 'An investigation into the incident is under way. The individual was quickly apprehended, reboarded the flight, and was handed over to the relevant authorities on landing.' The incident came to light because it was captured by a plane spotter and aired on the YouTube channel Big Jet TV. The person who filmed the incident can be heard saying: 'What's going on here? Why would there be people running across the [tarmac]?' After the man was stopped, the narrator added: 'What the hell was that all about? They are stopping aircraft taxiing as well.' Metropolitan police sources confirmed that they played a role in detaining the man and that normal operations then resumed at the airport. John Van Hoogstraten, an aviation expert at Straten Consulting Services Ltd, said: 'What is known as the movement area of the airport is the entire airside. We have to consider all movement in this area, whether it's wildlife or something else. It's always a challenge for airports about how to get people on to planes if they're not using an air bridge. 'The minute an unaccounted person is airside there's no protection about what happens next in operations. In these cases aircraft have to cease operations. They will be told to stop immediately. Safety is paramount. A jet blast is sufficient to severely injure if not kill a person. The reaction of a pilot trying to land a plane and seeing a person try to cross a runway can be devastating.' A Heathrow spokesperson said: 'Working with partners, we have quickly resolved an incident at the airport involving an individual who accessed the airfield taxiway. The airport continues to operate as normal and passengers are travelling as planned.' Home Office sources confirmed that Mitie was investigating the incident.

France to use UK drama Adolescence to teach teenagers about toxic masculinity
France has followed the UK and the Netherlands in allowing the Netflix drama Adolescence to be used in secondary schools as part of efforts to teach teenagers about toxic masculinity and online harms. The French education ministry will offer schools five classes based on excerpts from the critically acclaimed mini-series, which has provoked a global debate about the impact on young boys of misogynistic content online and on social media. The producer of the series – the second most-watched English-language series ever on Netflix, with more than 140m views as of 1 June – had granted the government the rights for educational use, the education minister, Élisabeth Borne, said. Borne told LCI television the excerpts were 'very representative of the violence that can exist among young people' and would be shown to pupils aged about 14 and older, accompanied by specially developed teaching materials. It was aimed at raising awareness of the problem of 'overexposure to screens and the trivialisation of violence on social networks', as well as the spread of so-called masculinist ideology advocating violence against women, Borne said. Adolescence, which launched on 13 March, tells the story of a 13-year-old boy arrested for the murder of a female classmate after being radicalised by toxic online material such as that posted by the self-styled misogynist influencer Andrew Tate. Netflix made it available to UK secondary schools in April, to accompany teaching resources from a relationships charity, in what Keir Starmer, the prime minister, called 'an important initiative'. The Dutch-speaking province of Flanders in northern Belgium has also begun using Adolescence in secondary schools. 'The series shows how digital influences and loneliness can lead some young people astray when they lack sufficient support,' the Flemish minister for media, Cieltje Van Achter, told the regional parliament. 'It also highlights how adults and teachers are increasingly losing touch with the world of young people. It is important that we support both teachers and young people so that these topics can be discussed.' In the Netherlands, the series is being used in secondary schools after a proposal from the GreenLeft-Labour MP Barbara Kathmann, with materials om social media influencers and peer pressure developed in conjunction with Netflix by a media studies institute. Sign up to This is Europe The most pressing stories and debates for Europeans – from identity to economics to the environment after newsletter promotion Kathmann said: 'By showing the series in classes, we can create a safe setting in which to discuss it and the issues it raises, so making teenagers more resilient and preventing them from being sucked into the 'manospere' and its pernicious consequences.' Eppo van Nispen tot Sevenaer, the director of the media studies institute Beeld en Geluid (Image and Sound), said Adolescence was 'the perfect vehicle' to engage young people about 'a world that is completely separate from that of teachers and parents'. Jack Thorne, the series' co-writer, said after its launch it had been made 'to provoke a conversation', adding: 'We wanted to pose the question: how do we help stop this growing crisis. So to have the opportunity to take it into schools is beyond our expectations.'
