Boy, hed love to have been in the room when that interview was filmed.
Sam McAlister looks wistfully at the screen with the beginning of a smile on her face.
I saw it, she tells him, and then turns and leaves.
So unmotivated by personal glory.
It washerability to sniff out a story that got the ball rolling.
It was all her, her, her.
Not that she likes to talk about it.
As he snaps shots of one of Epsteins victims, he momentarily turns the lens away in respect.
If onlysomebodywere brave enough to speak for these girls and give a voice to the voiceless.
No-one in this collection of characters is funny or self-aware; theyre earnest to an unbelievable degree.
Overall, it lacks a perspective beyond: wowzer, Sam, you star!
Theyre not duelling productions,Maitlis assuresDeadline, but they are very different beasts.

However fanciful an account this may be,Scoopgot to screen first and so gets to set the agenda.
Now, lets wait until the Maitlis-approved version of events to see who else agrees.
Scoop is streaming now onNetflix.
