Notes:

Sue MacGregor interviews Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. Sarah discusses her life and mentions her participation in The Grand Knockout Tournament as a turning point in her relationship with the media. She feels she was perceived as getting too involved in the spirit of the thing, denigrating the image of royalty. Subsequent media attention was generally negative. Duration of full item: 19 minutes, 8 seconds.
