The Crown... [heart]

I'm late to the party but I've been watching The Crown.

Abolsutely in love with it, and astonished by the actors and actresses cast in it. The way Claire Foy looks so like the young Queen, and even the way in which she speaks...

Amazing :)

Anyone who hasn't seen it, even if you aren't keen on the Royals, it is brilliant. It's very interesting to learn the history of the country if nothing else.

Yes I agree, it was very good, amazing detail to set, costume, speech, everything really! Only negative for me was the guy who played Philip - who was very handsome as a young man (not like this actor!)

It has given me lots of wormholes to disappear off in to... like how Phillip and Elizabeth were related... about the family tree, about the Moutbatten-Windsor name... All very interesting.

Hmmm Yes. I can see what you mean about Matt Smith. Bit of a strange looker... but acted out Phillip great.

Only discovered this a couple of months ago. Absolutely love it!!

Loved it!! I'm not into the royal family at all and would happily put an end to it after the Queen goes but I was gripped.

Absolutely loved princess Margaret and I'm really looking forward to the Diana and Camilla storylines

I really liked Matt Smith in it, I was expecting him to be a bit quirky but he played prince Phillip really well. Claire Foy is brilliant as queen Elizabeth but I watched a film called Breathe about a polio survivor and she is exactly the same in that.

I love the crown! The acting is amazing.. I'm not a huge fan of Matt in other stuff but he really blew me away in a way that I have never really felt about an actor before I was actually quite shocked that he wasn't nominated for more awards. Looking forward to the new ones although I'm going to miss the cast.

I only started yesterday... on episode 5 of series 1 already!
