Scoop

We braced ourselves for an almighty storm that never really manifested. A spot of drizzle in the morning, then sunshine for the rest of the day. The Tabacco Factory market operated a minimised amount of stalls in case of wind, but with the sun out I couldn't believe how busy it ended up being. 

I finished the game I was playing and tuned into watch Netflix's recent film of the fortnight: Scoop. It's a journalism piece about the Prince Andrew interview that was fine... It exists... It doesn't elaborate on much we already know and doesn't hit the same highs as other contemporary journo flicks like She Said or Spotlight. It is a film about the interview in the most literal sense: we watch people say 'boy, it sure would be good to chat with the naughty prince' and then they do. If you've seen the real life interview you arguably don't need to see the dramatized version unless you're really interested in seeing actors reconstruct it.
