My Review- Scoop
My Rating. 6/10
I would gladly watch any docu drama with a cast that includes Rufus Sewell, Billie Piper, Gillian Anderson and Romola Garai and I though they all have impressive performances.
However I was disappointed with Scoop based on the novel Scoops written by Samantha McAlister an English former TV producer and author, best known for securing an interview with Prince Andrew on BBC Newsnight's program that disclosed his involvement with the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Epstein cultivated an elite social circle and procured many women and children whom he and his associates sexually abused.
If this part of Prince Andrew's involvement was part of the whole Epstein story as part of a series I would have found it more interesting.
This docudrama in my opinion even perhaps could have been covered in a later series of The Crown rather than a drawn out pat on the back for the BBC team who successfully exposed the covert and corrupt association that Prince Andrew the Duke of York had with Epstein and his criminality.
I imagine this television event did attract a great deal of interest and great ratings for the BBC but I remember thinking what an idiot Prince Andrew was and I felt so sorry for his late mother The Queen to have to experience yet another family scandal in the last two years of her long life.
