The writer of Band of Gold has kept her secret for 30 years. Now it’s time to encourage others to come forward, she says
Television writer Kay Mellor, the powerhouse creator of hit shows from Band of Gold to the new Love, Lies and Records, has spoken out for the first time about her sexual assault at the hands of a senior TV executive earlier in her career.
Mellor was in her 30s and working as a producer at Granada when the unnamed executive, who is now dead, expressed an interest in developing one of her scripts, a comedy drama called Annie’s Back about a mother who moves in with her adult daughters.
