Rolf Harris trial: gameshow footage emerges undermining defence". The Guardian. 2 June 2014 . Retrieved 7 July 2014. The widespread fondness for Harris was summed up in a profile of the entertainer in the Independent in 1998. “He’s still, even after all these years, just so brilliantly innocent … It’s why we still hold him in such great and genuine affection. He’s approaching 70, has been in the business pretty much for ever, but remains spectacularly kind and good.” The author of the piece was hardly alone among profile writers in tending towards the hagiographic tone. “There must be a Mr Nasty somewhere inside that Mr Nice. There just must be. But try as I might, I couldn’t find him,” said the Guardian in 2000. On 16 November 2017, Harris's conviction on the charge that he had indecently assaulted an eight-year-old girl at a community centre in Portsmouth in 1969 was overturned on the grounds that it was unsafe. The Court of Appeal dismissed applications to challenge the other eleven convictions from the 2014 trial. [152] Documentary
