It was described as the interview of the decade and won journalist Emily Maitlis network presenter of the year at the Royal Television Society Awards. It was also the interview where the British public learnt that Prince Andrew did not sweat for some time and that the royal had apparently attended a Pizza Express in Woking.
The 2019 BBC Newsnight interview between Maitlis and King Charles’ younger brother has gone down in history as being one of the most disastrous of all time – for its subject. Now it’s being turned into a Netflix feature film titled Scoop, starring Gillian Anderson as Maitlis, Rufus Sewell as Prince Andrew and Billie Piper as Newsnight booker Sam McAlister.
