‘No, no, no’ ...Andrew script is all write so far says Emily
Former Newsnight host Emily
Maitlis has refrained from tweaking the drama of her 2019 Prince Andrew interview, despite gripes.
The journalist, who is working with A Very British Scandal producer Blueprint on a mini-series, laughs: “I’m reading scripts that say, ‘Emily goes back into the sitting room and finds her husband Mark watching Newsnight.’ I’m like, ‘No, no, no!
“My husband would never stay up watching Newsnight. Don’t you know anything about my life?’” Another note reads, “Emily’s dog sweetly comes to greet her at the door.”
But Emily says: “He can’t even be bothered to get off the sofa.”.
The News Agents podcaster vows to step in and correct any factual errors – so writers needn’t sweat.
