The “Thick of It” star Chris Langham is to be freed from jail after his 10-month prison sentence for downloading child pornography has been reduced by four months by the Court of Appeal.
The Bafta award-winner was jailed in September after he was convicted of downloading images of children. He was expected to be freed from Elmley Prison, Kent, on Wednesday.
The 58-year-old actor has always denied all the charges, claiming he viewed the images as research for a paedophile character for BBC2′s “Help” comedy show.
