Read our privacy policy Comedian and actor Doon Mackichan has called for an end to the way rape scenes are filmed for TV series. During a panel discussion chaired by The Independent’s chief book critic Martin Chilton, Mackichan said she has “lost jobs” before because of scenes she had refused to film. “I spoke to two young girls, both in their twenties, who’d both done rape scenes and it spurred me on to write an article in The New Statesman called ‘Enough is enough’,” she said. “We’ve got used to it, and we need to realise what an aberration it is for women to be even watching this kind of thing.” Doon Mackichan has called for an end to brutal TV rape scenes She added that she heard about one instance of a young actor having to endure two days of simulated rape for a TV drama, which ended up being all for nothing when the director cut the scene in the edit.
