The Windsors: Coronation Special

[Wishimaywishimight]

Is anyone planning on watching this? The trailer looks quite funny. I have always enjoyed the Windsors so have this set to record!

Mumble mumble Sophie Wessex, mumble mumble,best friend, mumble mumble, fumble Friday, mumble mumble,naughty naughty Puppa, secret smile,mumble.

"witches familiar" made me snort

The 'Railway Children' spoof, complete with knickers, was hilarious.

Bloody loved that! Then Edo and Jack turned up through the steam!

That was brilliant! The actor playing Jack was way too handsome however.

I loved it. I laughed all the way through it. Anything that pokes fun at the Royals is okay by me.

It will be known as the coronaartion by me from now on 🤣

He was. Little touches - did you spot Brian May, with the wild wig?!

So cross I missed it, grr! Will it be on again or anywhere else?

It's on C4 streaming, @Villagetoraiseachild - what used to be called All4.

I loved it, but is the portrayal of Camilla as a heavy smoker real. Does she smoke a lot in real life?

Just worked out that Amit Shah, who played Rishi (so life like!) also played Marcus in The Other One.

I thought Haydn Gwynne looked amazing in the cat burglar outfit.

He was also in happy valley

I thought Andrew was going to appear through the steam at the station and for Beatrice and Eugenie to shout 'daddy my daddy' !!

So they say!
Hadyn Gwynne is brilliant.

Sunak was good. "That's my wife's money. Plus I do pay tax"

I loved the people saying,'we can't pay our electricity bill and need to go to the food bank but we must have a mega coronation!' I don't think Harry Enfield will be getting a knighthood 😄

Just remembered “we are filming this for our Instagram” riposte.

I wonder what they will do with the Kohi noor (spelling) when it has finished its progress through Anne.

I need to watch the whole thing again to savour it.

Thanks, Maireas!

Gave up after about ten minutes. Just not funny, stale old jokes in my opinion.

I haven't laughed out loud so much in ages. I love a bit of silly humour. I guess we a have different tastes.

I too thought we were going to be treated to a 'daddy my daddy' moment.

Lol'd at Eug and Bea and their 'tuk-tok' efforts. I missed Fergie though - really like her character, although the introduction of Sophie Wessex was a bonus.

I love the vampy music that accompanies Pippa and appreciated the double take Harry did when he saw her on the balcony - love the 'history' between them!

Yes, it's almost worth having a Royal Family for content like this!

Watching now. Really disappointed at Sophie W - I would have had her much more made of steel. I think she's very iron fist/velvet glove.
The rest are spot on as ever, so brilliant.

The portrayal of Sophie was the one weak point to me. I know it's a comedy, but in order for it to be funny they have to play on the person's perceived character. Like you I don't think of Sophie as 'mousey' at all. Quite the opposite.

Otherwise it was hilarious. I like that Kate is now a Roma rather than a Gypsy! Gotta move with the times!

Yes, I agree - Sophie is no mouse!
I'm inclined to think that Anne was fairly true to character 🤣

Oh funny how we see them the same way without knowing them! My favourites are probably Bea and Eu, along with Fergie
