A three part Amazon / MGM show. We'd seen the interview, of course, and the Rufus Sewell / Gillian Anderson version Scoop and this one does seem like overkill. Michael Sheen and Ruth Wilson take on the lead roles, and the focus is a little more on Emily Maitliss and the knock-on effect on her career. We're led to believe that people were then afraid to be interviewed by her and she quit the BBC.
Looking at the facts as we know them, it doesn't seem very likely that the US justice system would have secured a conviction - there didn't seem to be any evidence, even of the Prince being at Tramp nightclub with the young woman. So in a way, the 'Firm's' decision to do a deal rather than go to court seems crazy, well, cowardly, at least. But I guess Andrew's association with Epstein alone had done enough damage to him and the Firm.
With Alex Jennings, Eanna Hardwicke, Joanna Scanlan, Claire Rushbrook, Nicholas Burns, Sam Troughton, Honor Swinton Byrne, Sofia Oxenham.
