Gillian Anderson shares BTS shots of Scoop - including Prince Andrew prosthetics

If, like us, you're obsessed with the popular Netflix show Sex Education, you'll also probably be just as obsessed with Gillian Anderson, who plays sex therapist and Otis's mum, Jean Milburn. And if you want to know how the 55-year-old's skin always looks so radiant – on and off screen – we might have found the answer.

Scoop, the Netflix film chronicling Prince Andrew‘s humbling interview on the BBC, has enjoyed a relatively regal reception from British audiences.

Prince Andrew had a close call when he nearly ran over a dog at Windsor, before seemingly laughing the episode off with relief.The Duke of York was thought to be driving down the Long Walk on the Windsor estate in his black Range Rover when pedestrians frantically alerted him to a black dog that had wandered into the road. It seemed that Andrew hadn't noticed the dog and it was his bodyguard who spotted the reactions of the people and told him to stop.Thankfully, the car stopped just in time and the dog's owner looked embarrassed as he went to retrieve his pet. Andrew took the whole incident in stride and was seen waving afterwards.

Gillian Anderson had trouble making up her mind about her role in Scoop.

Gillian Anderson, the star of Netflix’s new drama Scoop, has opened up about the “guilt” she felt early on her career, when she returned to work on sci-fi series The X-Files just ten days after giving birth. Speaking on NBC's TODAY show, Gillian revealed she felt “pressured” to return to the cult show which propelled her to megastardom following the birth of her first child, a daughter named Piper, back in 1994.

drama “Scoop” hit Netflix on Friday.The film is a fictionalized portrayal of BBC reporter Emily Maitlis (played by Gillian Anderson), who interviewed Andrew for a “Nightsnight” segment in 2019 about his friendship with dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.Andrew was seen out and about at Windsor Castle riding his horse during his outing. He wore a helmet, gloves, a sweater and an olive jacket to brave the cold weather.Rufus Sewell plays Andrew in “Scoop,” while Keeley Hawes was cast as the royal’s private secretary Amanda Thirsk and Billie Piper as TV producer Sam McAlister.The movie also reveals how Maitlis booked the disastrous interview, which showed Andrew sweating as he denied that he had sexual relations with Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts when she was a teenager in the early 2000s.In 2022, Andrew was stripped of his royal and military titles by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth, after Roberts brought forward a lawsuit against him and claimed he sexually abused her.

Prince Andrew's life has been significantly altered - his home is in disrepair, he was snubbed at Beatrice's wedding and he's lost his titles. The Duke of York's downfall was triggered by a disastrous BBC interview.

Scoop ( Friday, April 5), centers on Prince Andrew's first sit-down interview about his friendship with convicted sex offender, the late financier, (which later resulted in him stepping down from official royal duties), but the more profound story here is how it happened.That's where Anderson comes in. She plays BBC Newsnight anchor and journalist, Emily Maitlis, who conducted the infamous 2019 interview after months of tenacious work by her producer, Sam McAlister (played by Billie Piper), to secure the booking.“I remember hearing about the interview, but I hadn't seen it right [away],” Anderson tells me over Zoom from her New York hotel room.

When Prince Andrew submitted to being interviewed by Emily Maitlis for Newsnight, it made blockbuster viewing. Now Netflix’s Scoop brings the behind-the-scenes story to life and it’s even more compelling. Based on the book by former Newsnight editor Sam McAlister, Scoop looks at how Sam (played by Billie Piper) secured the royal chat for presenter Emily Maitlis (Gillian Anderson), who went on to quiz the prince on his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of sexual assault against him by Virginia Giuffre.

The Netflix movie “Scoop,” (premiering April 5), dramatizes Prince Andrew’s famously disastrous November 2019 Newsnight interview.The movie follows BBC anchor Emily Maitlis (Gillian Anderson) and her team as she interviews the Duke of York, 64, (Rufus Sewell) about his alleged relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (who died of apparent suicide earlier that year).She also presses Prince Andrew about Virginia Giuffre’s sex abuse allegations, which he denied (and in 2022, they settled her sex abuse lawsuit out of court). In the real interview, Prince Andrew defended his choice to stay in a convicted sex offender’s home when he visited New York because he said that Epstein’s digs were, “A convenient place to stay.”The car-crash of an interview led to Prince Andrew getting fired from official royal duties by his mom, Queen Elizabeth II.

Spotlight”).Running time: 102 minutes. Rated TV-14. On Netflix April 5.Or neither.That murky middle is seen in “Scoop,” a Dollar Store “Frost/Nixon” about Prince Andrew’s 2019 interview with the BBC in the wake of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking scandal.Director Philip Martin’s film is not poorly made, per se, but its efforts to make the exciting behind-the-scenes scramble to get the Duke of York on TV are for naught.

In many ways, “Scoop” is not the movie you think it is. Sure, it’s a behind-the-scenes look at how the BBC television program, er, “programme” “Newsnight” landed a hotly sought-after interview with Prince Andrew in 2019.

Guy Lodge Film Critic It’s no great slight to “Scoop” to say that it’s no more compelling than the real-life news broadcast on which it pivots. It’s also no less compelling than said broadcast, which was, after all, a doozy: the 2019 episode of “BBC Newsnight” in which anchor Emily Maitlis interviewed Prince Andrew about his friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
