Prince Andrew (Rufus Sewell) and Emily Maitlis (Gillian Anderson) in Scoop

Here's the Scoop on Prince Andrew's train wreck Newsnight interview
At the end of an Attenborough nature documentary there’s a behind-the-scenes segment showing how the sausage is made, as it were. Scoop (Netflix, Friday) did the same for Newsnight’s interview with Prince Andrew. Yes, that interview. There are now two filmed dramatisations of the sit-down. This one, based on the book by Sam McAlister, the booker who secured the interview, is the first to arrive. McAlister comes out of it well, natch, being portrayed as a plucky, working-class single mum who drags the snooty Newsnight lot into the social media age.
