Am halfway through ep1 and can’t help but laugh at whoever cast this actress as the Queen Mother. She’s too thin, blonde and totally off.
If Imelda hadn’t called her “mummy” I wouldn’t have known who she was meant to beAm halfway through ep1 and can’t help but laugh at whoever cast this actress as the Queen Mother. She’s too thin, blonde and totally off.
I don’t know how to post a spoiler I’m afraid
They have never got the QM right imo. Not sure why, when the casting is generally good.I sort of like Jonathon Pryce. I think he gives a more subtle, mellow performance of PP, which makes sense as the character is older.
The Queen Mother is odd casting though. She had a very distinctive look with a round, expressive face. The actor looks too small and frail and doesn’t really capture her.
She doesn't sound like her either!Am halfway through ep1 and can’t help but laugh at whoever cast this actress as the Queen Mother. She’s too thin, blonde and totally off.
that actress was superb!! In looks and mannerism. She’s ALL Ann!Nobody will ever beat season 3 & 4 princess Anne!
Maybe but aside Diana's death (which he has already covered in The Queen) I really struggle to think what else they really have to cover that's particularly memorable. The early 90s were full of drama and frankly unbelievable stories coming out. To not even have one episode dedicated to Fergie and Andrew, but a whole one on Al Fayed just seems odd. Nothing much on Diana's multiple lovers either.Something isn’t clicking for me either this season and it’s definitely the casting. I so loved Josh O’Connor (adore him especially) as Charles and Erin Doherty as Anne, they were superbly spot on. It also doesn’t help that I’m not the biggest fan of Dominic West. I’m at episode 8 and I just don’t have that want for more. The last two seasons I’ve loved and at the end of season 3, I couldn’t wait for season 4. Part of me wonders if this season is a bit lacklustre to make it so season six (the last season) comes across more spectacular
Nope they never have. At nearly fifty I was a bit put out that the last actress casted as the Queen wasn't that much older than meThey have never got the QM right imo. Not sure why, when the casting is generally good.
I might have a look over Christmas but in previous seasons I'd probably have seen the lot by now.Really can't get into this season. Casting is all off and as great an actor as Staunton is, she is not the Queen. Claire Foy got her voice and mannerisms perfectly and Staunton really hasn't . It feels a bit karaoke. Not sure I can be bothered to watch anymore
