Richard Osman has reflected on his television career, admitting he wishes he had done more to help create workplaces where people felt safe

The author and presenter worked with David Walliams and Matt Lucas on the 1999 sitcom *Boyz Unlimited*, although his professional relationship with Walliams later ended

Osman said the industry’s laddish culture was wrongly accepted as normal and described current scrutiny of past conduct as a painful reckoning

He also recalled hearing troubling claims about Russell Brand while working at Endemol, despite never having met him.
