In London …
Maybe it’ll work out better for him this time?
Prince Andrew’s disastrous interview with the BBC in 2019 was so compelling that it’s become necessary to dramatize the drama. Twice. Emily Maitlis, who conducted the interrogation, is working with Blueprint Pictures (A Very British Scandal, A Very English Scandal, and the “Wagatha Christie” drama mentioned in last week’s Diary) on “a three-part miniseries with a major streaming service,” according to The Times of London. And Sam McAlister, the BBC producer who booked the Duke of York, has sold the rights to her book about the episode for a film adaptation.
Hugh Grant’s name was linked to at least one of the projects, but he tweeted that he’d “never heard of it.” Why not just get Andrew to play himself? If he could be talked into doing it once, there’s a decent chance he could be persuaded again.
