Ripley, White Fever, Truelove, Scoop
Listen now
Description
Four very memorable pieces of television this week for very different reasons. We start with the compelling British crime drama Truelove (BBC First on Fetch, Binge or Foxtel, series.) Next is Ripley (Netflix, series) with a standout performance from Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley in a new version of the Patricia Highsmith novel The Talented Mr Ripley. The sole Australian production under review this episode is White Fever (ABC/iview, series) which starts off at a furious pace with an episode you are not likely to forget. Finally, we watch the TV movie Scoop (Netflix) with Rufus Sewell as Prince Andrew. It’s a dramatisation about how the BBC’s Newsnight managed to convince the Prince to be a guest and be interviewed by journalist Emily Maitlis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
