ONE hour of television can change everything. But how did THAT interview come to be

Based on the memoir of an insider, inspired by real events, this is the story of Prince Andrew's infamous Newsnight interview and the tenacious journalism that landed it.

The 2019 interview saw the Duke of York speak for the first time about his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and allegations about his own conduct.

From the tension of producer Sam McAlister's high stakes negotiations with Buckingham Palace, all the way to

Emily Maitlis' jaw dropping, forensic showdown with the Prince, the film takes viewers inside the story, with the women who would stop at nothing to get it.

A stellar cast includes Gillian Anderson as Emily Maitlis, Rufus Sewell as Prince Andrew, Billie Piper as producer Sam McAlister, Keeley Hawes as the Prince's former private secretary Amanda Thirsk and Romola Garai as Esme Wren, who was BBC Newsnight editor at the time of the interview.
