BBC journalist Emily Maitlis on her history with Hong Kong BBC journalist Emily Maitlis on her history with Hong Kong
But if the BBC can’t square the circle then its stars will keep leaving, each time declaring that they want the freedom to say what they think. Similarly, there is irritation and upset that the interview and events leading up to it have been monetised. The government’s threat to remove the licence fee, a sword of Damocles now constantly hanging over its head, is the most obvious answer. She would end up staying for six years, finding a profession to which she’d want to dedicate her life and bagging a husband-to-be, investment manager Mark Gwynne (Maitlis would propose to him on a beach on millennium eve).In July 2007, Maitlis was appointed as a contributing editor to The Spectator magazine, an unpaid post. And Lewis sits down with Dawn Butler, to talk race (and racism), Suella's 'multiculturalism' rhetoric, her journey to being a Labour MP and former shadow minister and the state of the Labour Party going ahead into next week's conference. For me, that resonates so much with our age and people’s resistance to seeing what’s right in front of them. Later, waiting in 43C heat for Clinton, she changes her clothes in a barn smothered in goat poo, and frets about her “pothole-jolted make-up” that looks “crayoned on by a three-year-old”.

Maitlis interviewed Donald Trump for the 2010 BBC documentary Donald Trump: All-American Billionaire. Last month, the Sunday Telegraph published a staged photograph of two people, wearing masks of Prince Andrew and Giuffre, in a bath at Maxwell’s home, in an apparent attempt to discredit the latter’s allegations. Perhaps it sums up the unrelentingly self-reflective mind that has taken her to the top of the BBC tree.And I think in a London environment, I would have just been chewed up and that would have been the end. Judged by any number of fixers I’ve had in my 40-odd years working on the road, she was a breed apart. Quizzed by Maitlis, the Duke failed to express any regret over his friendship with Epstein, or empathy for his victims. In showing us what happens in front of the camera as well as the chaos behind it, her aim is less to tell her life story than reveal the blood, sweat and tears that go into planning and delivering the news.
