Nina Robinson (Soundtruism Media Productions) and Ninna Makrinov (The Fat Psychologist podcast) join Flixwatcher to review Nina’s choice Scoop.
Scoop (2024) is a dramatisation of the jaw dropping 2019 BBC Newsnight interview with Prince Andrew. It is based on the book Scoops by former Newsnight editor Sam McAlister. Directed by Philip (The Crown) Martin, it stars Gillian Anderson as Newsnight host Emily Maitlis, Keeley Hawes as Amanda Thirsk, Prince Andrew’s private secretary, Billie Piper as Sam McAlister and Rufus Sewell as Prince Andrew.
Following the publication of images of Prince Andrew walking with child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein the Prince’s PR team suggest some friendly press opportunities will help rebuild his image.
After negotiations Sam Manages to secure an interview with Prince Andrew at Buckingham Palace for Newsnight. While filming the interview it becomes apparent that Prince Andrew has no self awareness and the Newsnight crew realise they have secured the interview of the decade.
Scoop is the most made for TV film of recent years. It attempts to build drama around the negotiation of the interview and give a small glimpse into the lives of the major players. Recommendability and small screen scores were pretty high but lower engagement scores give an overall rating of 3.29.
