What recent Netflix shows – including The Crown and Beckham – get wrong about the British press

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, February 7, 2024

Recent celebrity documentaries Beckham and Robbie Williams, and the final season of TV drama The Crown, have painted a portrait of the UK tabloids as cruel, sadistic and predatory of its homegrown celebrities.

Key Points: 
  • Recent celebrity documentaries Beckham and Robbie Williams, and the final season of TV drama The Crown, have painted a portrait of the UK tabloids as cruel, sadistic and predatory of its homegrown celebrities.
  • While criticism of the British tabloids – particularly the ethics and methods of the News of the World – is often justified, the specifics offered by all three shows fall flat.
  • While these shows all try to claim part of the noughties nostalgia trend, they feel politically and contextually vacant.

The millennium press

  • By 1998, only 8% of editorial in The Sun and The Mirror could be classed as “public affairs” – the rest focused on gossip, sports, or both.
  • Inevitably, as celebrity culture became news, news also became gossip and both categories disintegrated into what we now call “clickbait”.
  • As The Crown dolefully shows, one picture of Princess Diana could sell for millions to print newspapers in 1997.

The Crown

  • The final season of The Crown covers the last eight months of Princess Diana’s life.
  • Through fictionalised monologues from actors playing real photographers and journalists, the press compare themselves to “hunters” and “killers”.

Beckham and Robbie Williams

  • Unlike The Crown, the main characters in the documentaries Beckham and Robbie Williams are not only living subjects but also active participants in the programmes.
  • Beckham consults a litany of talking heads – former managers, teammates, Spice Girls and two suitably shame-filled paparazzi – to build a portrait of the footballer and his union with wife Victoria.
  • As Williams notes, “[When you become famous] you want to give away the privacy you want to give away.

The Saudi slow down

Key Points: 
  • The Saudi slow down
    Some huge spending by the Saudi Pro League was a major contributor to the sums spent in the Premier League over the summer.
  • Then, clubs in receipt of that money were able to buy new players, creating an upward spiral of transfer spending.
  • But in January 2024, the Saudi appetite for Premier League players has not returned (for now), which has slowed the market overall.
  • Once they have adjusted, we will no doubt be seeing more activity – and eye-watering sums – in future transfer windows.
