This is a highly-produced and dramaticised event of the notorious case of Prince (ex) Andrew and his dealings with rampant sex pest Jeffrey Epstein and the huge scope from the BBC during a turbulent time for the broadcaster when it was facing signifant budget cuts and potential job-losses.
It's an accurate account of the studio life and environment. I visited the BBC studios and it's exactly like this. I adore the stage decoration and the atttention-to-detail on everything from the gorgeous teacups in Buckingham Palace to the signage in the BBC studios.
I am particularly impressed with the news night ancorage style of Gillian Anderson. Wow. She can't quite get the accent right but she can act oh so well. I also love how her looks is mirrowing top BBC presenters as well.
I love Billie Piper in this. She is absolutely stand-out as Sam and is so good at impersonating that I actually had no idea it was her until I looked on IMDB!
The other casting is excellent; especially Rufus Sewell as JE; strong empowerment acting. Controlling the entire room with his poise and speach and that rather odd almost sadistic laugh used is most brilliant.
Supporting cast is also very solid. I enjoyed the script and I could imagine how could it could have been. There is almost always artistic cinema license in these production series but this seems to be an honest and accurate take of what I remember from the time.
It's a disgusting event and it's even more disguting that we'll never know the true events of what really went on with JE. This is why investigative journalism is so important. We must hold them to account. Governments and individuals too.
