I mean she's no Fenella Woolgar, but I agree, assuming this is true, she'll do an incredible job.

When do we get the Olivia Coleman series starting, anyone know? No confirmed date yet as far as I’ve found digging around on the internet unfortunately. Though I would imagine the back end of the year if previous air dates are anything to go by.

recent articles have said November Thanks. They are clever at keeping the programme in the limelight.

As a friend of mine pointed out, you've got to worry a bit about a man who looks over at his girlfriend and goes 'you know what love you'd make a perfect Margret Thatcher'
(all jokes aside she's a fabulous actress who also gives excellent death stares, she'll be great)

Not sure what it says about the show but they do like casting American actors to play UK PMs!

I've seen online that Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones) is rumoured to play Diana in Season Four

In the Alan Yentob/James Graham programme, they mentioned that Graham has written an episode of The Crown. I wonder what they've given him.

Not very informative i agree but one of Coleman’s best ‘looks’. I hope they are not going the break -the -fourth -wall route with stares to camera etc. Ugh.

I think we’re all supposed to squeal at the sight of OC in the queens frock. I’m 100% sure she is going to be very good in this but no matter how hard she tries it will always be Olivia Colman playing HRH and we will never be able to forget that it’s Olivia. Success and over-exposure is a double edged sword.
Prove me wrong Olivia.

Gentleman Jack had a touch of it but as it was loosely a diary adaptation it might have been coincidence. (Btw, I did see someone say the Guardian's obsession with Fleabag is because it gets articles higher placed in Google searches.)

Apparently James Graham is scripting some of the episodes this series (oh, I've just scrolled back and seen it already mentioned -sorry!)

The 17th. This went under the radar a little but last night Netflix Japan's Youtube channel leaked the official full trailer and it was up for a good few hours until they were forced to set the clip to private (after likely getting a humongous telling off from Netflix HQ).
But as with anything on the internet, when it's posted online, it's there forever.

Been having a binge today. E03 is all about the Aberfan tragedy and is very moving. The rest so far is preposterous but lots of fun. Colman and Bonham-Carter are totally unbelievable because every time you look at them you’re just thinking “that’s Olivia Colman” “that’s Helena Bonham Carter” and for me that’s totally impossible to get over. Tobias Menzies is excellent as the new Philip, got all of the physical nuances down to a tee. Jane Lapotaire makes an appearance in E04 as the very unusual mother of Philip, Princess Alice, who rejected the trappings of Royal life and was a nun in a Greek convent.
Of course it’s all (very) loosely based on fact but some of the conversations are hysterical. I know she is playing the stoical buttoned up monarch but I don’t think Colmans expression has changed in 4 episodes. Her eyebrows may have moved. A bit. Maybe.
enjoying it though!

^How's Josh O'Connor as Charles? He's very good, though I hope the role doesn't haunt him later in his career! I fast forwarded through to get to the Aberfan and Erin Doherty/Josh O'Connor episodes - of the ones I've seen, the James Graham-scripted episode 6 is the best so far, like a little play in itself.

Didn't think much of episode 1 sadly - I can't see past Olivia Colman being Olivia Colman, much as I love her, (though strangely find it easier to see Princess Margaret instead of Helena Bonham Carter) and the replacement Queen Mother looks nothing like her which doesn't help.
Let's see if the rest of the series is any better!

My favourites are 4, 6, and 10. Haven't been able to fully make it through 5 but I will watch it when with my mum when she gets that far. (Don't worry, haven't just watched The Crown today, had seen 3 episodes before today).
