This week, Hayley Campbell and Scott Bryan join 5 Live presenter Nihal Arthanayake to review ‘Scoop’.

‘Scoop’ looks at the lead up and the fallout of the Emily Maitlis/Prince Andrew Newsnight interview, through the perspective of TV producer Sam McAlister .Nihal: “Is it a Must Watch, Hayley?”

"That was all a bit cringey for me, but the biggest issue I had was, there really isn’t a point to it existing. I think it maybe suffers from the same problem that some of the COVID dramas did, in that it is just a bit too soon.

"Rufus Sewell’s transformation is incredible – he looks like he’s wearing the flayed skin of Prince Andrew.”Hayley: “Really? Well, he did a good job. In Scoop we’re also shown why the Palace thought this interview might be a good idea, but that is sort of it in terms of stuff that we didn’t know. As I said, it's totally watchable.

"Essentially, Newsnight were already talking with Prince Andrew’s team prior to Jeffrey Epstein’s death, so when the world’s media wanted to then interview him, Newsnight already had their foot in the door.”Scott: “Having said that, I enjoyed it, because it is a bit of a love letter to journalism itself. I think journalism in TV shows can be depicted so poorly, because it fails to capture authentically how journalists do their job: from note-taking to getting a source to confide in them.
