Netflix’s “Scoop” is inspired by the real events behind the bold efforts of “Newsnight” booker Sam McAlister to secure an interview with Prince Andrew amidst the fallout he felt from his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
It traces the admirable behind-the-scenes teamwork of McAlister, journalist and interviewer Emily Maitlis (Gillian Anderson), editor Esme Wren (Romola Garai), producer Stewart Maclean (Richard Goulding) and ultimate fact-checker Freddy (Jordan Kouamé), as well as photographer Jae Donnolly (Connor Swindells).
High stakes, adrenaline and twists and turns make “Scoop” a compelling watch, in addition to the star-stacked cast that portrays all the real-life players.
Here are the cast and characters of “Scoop” on Netflix:

Directed by: Frank Henenlotter
Written by: Frank Henenlotter and Robert Martin
Featuring: Kevin Van Hentenryck, Annie Ross, Gil Roper, Dan Biggers, Jim O’Doherty
Frank Henenlotter’s Basket Case from 1982 was a seedy little fever dream of a film with operatic violence and a pitch black sense of humor. It told the twisted grindhouse tale of the Bradley brothers, Siamese twins crudely separated against their will by a team of doctors (and one veterinarian). Duane (Kevin Van Hentenryck), the more physically "normal" of the two, was saved while his deformed other half, Belial, was put in a trash bag and left for dead on the street. Duane, who shared a telepathic link with his lumpy twin, saved the still-breathing Belial. A few years later the two began to hunt down (and savagely mutilate) the surgical team responsible for their separation. The appropriately downbeat ending gave it a fable-like resonance and...

Basket Case Trilogy
Stars: Kevin VanHentenryck, Terri Susan Smith, Beverly Bonner, Annie Ross, Judy Grafe, Gil Roper | Written and Directed by Frank Henenlotter
Still somewhat of an underground series in mainstream movie-going consciousness (despite what seems like a huge horror-loving fanbase), the Basket Case trilogy finally makes its way to Blu-ray after a shoddy treatment on DVD where here in the UK they have often been resigned to the bargain bins. Thankfully Second Sight have decided to give the franchise its proper due with a trilogy release that will definitely please fans of the films and will hopefully also make a lot of new ones…
Released on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray steelbook (a must-buy for me), the Basket Case Trilogy features the adventures of two brothers, Duane and Belial, well I say brothers but they were originally conjoined twins, separated against their will; with Duane seemingly “normal” and Belial resigned to a life of deformity,...

Frankenhooker
Stars: James Lorinz, Joanne Ritchie, Patty Mullen, Joseph Gonzalez | Written by Frank Henenlotter, Robert Martin | Directed by Frank Henenlotter
Jeffrey Franken is a science whizz and a med school droput. He’s also a man in love. But when Elizabeth Shelley, the love of his life, is killed by a runaway remote-control lawnmower – which just happens to be one of Jeffrey’s inventions – he suffers a mental breakdown and decides there’s only one way to find love again, and that’s to piece Elizabeth back together with a little help from some explosive Supercrack and a gaggle of street walkers. However there’s a problem with Jeffrey’s plans – a pimp called Zorro and the fact that he doesnt just put the love of his life back together, he creates a Frankenhooker!
Frank Henenlotter is one of those directors whose work it seems you either love or hate.
