THE Accident show boss says Grenfell cladding means ‘justice is failing’ and vows to shine a light on ‘corporate manslaughter’.
Writer Jack Thorne knew the drama - which stars Sarah Lancashire - would look at the themes of class and justice, but it wasn't until after the Grenfell Tower tragedy in June 2017 that the story really started to take shape. The nation was left shocked on June 14th 2017 when the 24-storey block of flats in West London went up in flames in a matter of hours because of flammable exterior cladding on the building.
Jack said: "I'm a writer that poses questions, not gives answers. I don't feel capable of doing that. I hope that by the end, there's a sense of a thesis.
