I. I was watching, which I could have got sucked into this. So now I feel like I have to watch it on. On Netflix again. The interview on Newsnight. That do I already have this up? The. The Newsnight interview happened on. It was five. Emily Mailis. She. And. And again. And I know, Louise, you're on here. What was the name of the show on Netflix? Was it Scandalous or something? Now I want to watch it again now. Now I have to watch it. But if you watch that Newsnight interview now, when you watch it now, from the revelations that have come out of it, like, we all watched it five years ago. I know I did content on it five years ago. Andrew looked like he was Andrew. Andy. We can go back to calling him Randy Andy. The dodging the defiance. Scoop. Thank you, Jared. Thank you, Louise. Scoop. I gotta watch Scoop. I'll just say it into my algorithm. And now it will pop up in my ads. The dodging, the arrogance in there. And even when she opens up the interview and she said, you know, we're here to talk about, you know, normally I would be here to talk about your work, your charitable work, what you do as a working royal, but instead we're here about, you know, other matters. And he said, yes, you know, I've been working with you and Newsnight for months to talk about things that. No, I'm sounding like a Beatle. That's not really Prince Andrew. I can't do royal. I can do booty tools. But the dodging and the arrogance and also just like the sheer narcissism of it all, he thinks he can control that entire interview and that narrative and everything is coming back to him.
