In November 2019 a BBC interview with Prince Andrew sent shockwaves around the world. He was hoping to deflect sexual assault allegations, and distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein.
Instead, the interview was declared a "trainwreck" and the fallout so great he was stripped of his duties and military titles.
This was one of many exclusive interviews secured by "booker extraordinaire" Sam McAlister, a former producer on the BBC's Newsnight programme, who also convinced Elon Musk, Sheryl Sandberg and Stormy Daniels to sit in the hot seat.
She has now released a book: Scoops: Behind the Scenes of the BBC's Most Shocking Interviews.
