This episode examines how the BBC—an institution repeatedly scarred by scandals involving figures like Jimmy Savile—continues to protect a prominent sculpture by Eric Gill, an artist who confessed in his own diaries to sexually abusing children. It asks why, after decades of institutional failures around abuse, the BBC still chooses to publicly honour the work of a known child abuser—and what that says about those whose voices and suffering truly matter.
