Queen Elizabeth II lived a remarkable life – but not everyone knows she made time to watch TV too.
The Royal Family announced that the Queen died peacefully at Balmoral on Thursday (8 September), aged 96.
In the wake of her death, fans are remembering the Queen’s rather eclectic taste in television.
According to reports, the Queen received selected shows from the BBC, who would occasionally add in unrequested items they thought she may enjoy.
Other reports have suggested that she once asked that a Doctor Who DVD box set be sent to Balmoral, and that she told actor Peter Sallis that she loved Last of the Summer Wine.
She also visited the set of EastEnders in 2001.
It would seem that even royals aren’t above a hate-watch either, as she is said to have once commented on police procedural series The Bill: “I don’t like The Bill but I just can’t help watching it.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have taken part in a special episode of Antiques Roadshow.
The royal couple had items from their collections assessed by experts Paul Atterbury, John Axford and Hilary Kay at Hillsborough Castle, their home in Northern Ireland.
Among the pieces was a small, bronze sculpture of a horse and jockey, which is believed to be of the 1863 Derby winner Macaroni.
The episode is expected to air later this year.
The Duke was keen to find out when the episode would air, causing the Queen to add: "If it [airs] in August then even better, because we might have a chance to see it."
The royals then flew by helicopter from Hillsborough to Coleraine, where were guests of honour at an event in order to recognise the work of the British Legion.
They have had a packed itinerary during their three days in Northern Ireland, including...
