Ouch, cringe, wince, eww, WTF!

Give it a watch; the story of the fall from grace of Prince Andrew, told from the perspective of the Newsnight journalists who investigated him and eventually secured that famous interview.

Awful program making or awful the topic?

I didn’t the production was particularly good but because the content is truth I found it quite compelling.

The production. The characters weren’t that convincing to me.

Maybe I also have a far too respectful view of our BBC reporters and researchers - in view of the fact that it’s funded by us?

BUT I did think Jeffrey Epstein’s character was excellent!

Well, re the acting for the BBC team, do you think our BBC reporters would really act like News of the World bloodhounds?
Perhaps I’m naive?

I don’t feel they were portrayed like that at all, in fact I thought they came off as heroes after doing an excellent job.

I have no regard nor respect for the BBC overall but in this instance the journalists and their leadership did a great job exposing Prince Andrew who was badly advised. It was him and his press assistant who came off badly I thought.

Maybe I’ll give it another look?

Sorry the production wasn't up to par, but - A multitude of people out in the world are struggling to keep a roof over their heads and food in their gut, and we're supposed to wring our hands and stress over some rich guy's fall from grace?? You'll pardon me if I'm not shedding any tears over all this.

Tell him to take his girlfriend to another shopping trip on Bond Street. Maybe that will cheer him up. 🙄

I’m not expecting you to “wring your hands” or “stress” or “shed tears” about this program or Prince Andrew; what on Earth are on about.

I’m afraid I can’t tell him anything as I don’t have access. Sorry.
