It's hard to estimate from my Dutch chair what impact this must have had on the other side of the North Sea, but this miniseries at least makes a decent attempt to make that clear. Ruth Wilson plays a beautifully sharp journalist, Michael Sheen is almost moving as the man who doesn't understand what kind of swamp he's in, and scriptwriter Jeremy Brock sets the balance sharply by putting conflicting dialogues in the mouths of the characters both in the BBC newsroom and in the Royal Lodge - it's not quite Aaron Sorkin, but it does convey what's at stake, and all that without answering the question of guilt unequivocally. Nice little "dots" of humor in the form of Andrew's bodyguards who slavishly follow him and seem to imitate his posture, as well as Andrew's tragicomic frequent emphasis on his military experience in the Falklands War.

The third episode in particular is simply stunning and contains in many facets the consequences of the "interview". Especially the conversation between Andrew's right hand Amanda and the BBC employee is profound and the drama encompassing.
Previously, we could mainly immerse ourselves in and enjoy the subtlety, the attention to detail, also on a technical level, of the preparation and elaboration of the interview, as well as the never-ending lapdog behaviour and patronising of a prince's entourage and his own conceited character.
Nice work.
