Movie review - "Scoop" (2024) ****

 Great fun. Journalists digging at a story - really, it's all about the "get". Like a lot of British stories it's about class - the place of the royals, Prince Andrew's place within the royals (declining), his privelege (calling his mother "mummy" bringing up the Falkland Islands), but also within the BBC where Billie Piper is treated a little disdainfully and Gillian Anderson's presenter has been around the block.  Keeley Hawes' big sad eyes work a treat, because they make you wonder whether she did throw Andrew under a bus... or at least decided to expose some sunlight... I also loved how Hawes was a little star struck about Anderson. The costuming for the people who work in TV is spot on, especially Piper with her long hair, boots and keep cup. Rufus Sewell is very good in a tricky part but so is everyone.
