Netflix has released the first images from its upcoming film about Prince Andrew's infamous 2019 Newsnight interview.

Scoop will be based on chapters from former BBC producer Sam McAlister's memoir on how the explosive interview, in which the royal spoke about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was secured.

Rufus Sewell, who starred in The Man In The High Castle and The Diplomat, can be seen playing the duke while The X Files and Sex Education star Gillian Anderson takes on the role of interviewer Emily Maitlis.

Netflix has also released an image of Billie Piper, who will be portraying McAlister.

...

Scoop is billed as "the inside track of the women that broke through the Buckingham Palace establishment to secure the scoop of the decade... spotlighting the journalists whose tenacity and guts broke through the highest of ceilings".

And the upshot... Newsnight is no longer doing investigative journalism. Weird coincidence that.

In all honesty - yes, a coincidence
