Gisèle Pelicot: Newsnight Interview
10pm, BBC Two
The horror of the sustained sexual abuse Gisèle Pelicot suffered was matched only by the incredible courage of her decision to waive her right to anonymity in order to bring about a public trial for her husband and the men he encouraged to rape her. This special edition of Newsnight is devoted to an interview with Pelicot where she discusses the aftermath of the trial (the French state awarded her the Légion d’honneur in 2025) and her life subsequently.
