    • Trivia
      The iconic black door of 10 Downing Street had to be made larger in scale so that John Lithgow, who is 6' 4'' (1,93m) in height, would not look significantly larger than the real-life Sir Winston Churchill, who, at this stage was around 5' 6'' (1,67m) tall.
    • Goofs
      In reality the Queen and Princess Margaret were almost the same height. Whilst Claire Foy is of similar height to the Queen, Vanessa Kirby (Princess Margaret) is almost 4 inches taller. In a scene of them walking together, Kirby has flat shoes to offset the height difference.

    This is simply Outstanding
    Every so often a drama comes along that takes away your breath. Sometimes that's subjective, other times objective. Dramas such as The Jewel in the Crown, The West Wing, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, Downton Abbey, House M.D. have all stood at the pinnacle of television drama.

    The Crown is right up there at the very top. It is outstanding in every way: faultless. From brilliant dramatisation to acting to score to cinematography: everywhere you look it commands.

    Watch it. You won't regret it. You will remember one of those television 'moments' that come along all too rarely.
