Jeremy Bamber and his legal team call on ITV to postpone screening their forthcoming drama series ‘White House Farm’
Just as Freddie Fox revealed he “decided against contacting the real-life Jeremy Bamber” and announced he’ll be “leaving it up to the audience to decide whether or not Bamber is guilty,” the convicted familial serial killer’s supporters and legal team have announced they “make it very clear… [they] do not endorse this drama.”
Of why he decided to follow this particular course of action, Fox commented:
“The Jeremy Bamber I’m playing [in ITV’s White House Farm] is a combination of the Jeremy Bamber that I’ve created as an actor, in my imagination, and factual, assiduous factual research. And he’s a different man now, it’s 35 years on, and he maintains his innocence.”
In response, Bamber’s solicitor, Mark Newby, remarked:
“We have written to the producers of the drama series and invited them to postpone the broadcast of this series whilst matters are resolved in the High Court . We have intimated that we are concerned that such a drama series by its nature will place a fictitious narrative in the public domain which may be counterproductive to the administration of justice in due course. We sincerely hope that in the interests of fairness and justice that ITV accede to this request.”
