BBC quietly drops all episodes of 'scandalous' new thriller on iPlayer

In a review for The Telegraph, Jasper Rees described Towards Zero as a 'sexed-up, slang-filled spin on Agatha Christie ' and awarded the show three out of five stars, feeling Huston was 'slightly wasted.'

The BBC has removed all episodes of the new thriller series "The Following Events Are Based on a Pack of Lies" from its iPlayer streaming service following a complaint from a real-life individual who claims the show's plot mirrors her own life too closely. The series, which stars Rebekah Staton and Marianne Jean-Baptiste, revolves around a con artist and her interactions with a woman who believes she is being deceived. The complainant, Dr. Charlotte Proudman, a prominent barrister, alleges that the show's narrative closely resembles her own experiences with a man she accuses of being a fraudster. Although the BBC has not officially commented on the removal, it is understood that they are reviewing the situation. The show, which was initially well-received, has now sparked a debate on the boundaries between fiction and real-life inspiration.
