A TV boss behind Spooks and Law & Order UK is in line to win a payout after ending up in a mental hospital following a 'MeToo' sexual harassment claim against him.
Andrew Woodhead was appointed managing director of Working Title TV UK in 2016, but in November 2019 was suspended after being accused of 'sexual harassment' by a writer working with the firm.
The writer complained Mr Woodhead had 'taken advantage of his position' and told her lurid details of his private life which were 'unwelcome' and made her feel 'uncomfortable,' as well as aspects of his sex life that she 'did not want to hear.'
She said her complaint aligned with the '#MeToo' movement, London's High Court heard, which was sparked in response to sexual harassment claims against American movie mogul, Harvey Weinstein.
Recovering alcoholic Mr Woodhead denied some of the conversations happened and said others were innocent chat in private, but never returned to work after his suspension.
